So I posted a chart about job growth.

Oh, but it should have grown! Giving massive tax cuts to the "job creators" makes jobs appear! At least according to the Republican economic platform.

Except it's been proven that it does not. How many times did Reagan have to raise taxes?

well, i guess the defense of 'it would have been worse without the cuts' wouldn't fly? it works so well when the stimulus comes up.....

but since they did nothing, it makes one wonder why the next prez continued the cuts. or maybe not!
