just saw the above, and figured this was as good a place as any to put it. another example of fantasy vs reality.


NORQUIST: You do two things. You reduce spending, and you have stronger economic growth. This is one of the weakest recoveries we’ve had –

ZAKARIA: You can as a practical matter, this is a wish, not a plan. I would like stronger economic growth, too….This is all rhetoric, Grover. You’ve got a plan as a practical matter. As I said, Clinton raised taxes, he got growth. Bush had the biggest tax cuts in a generation, and he got the weakest growth in 30 years. All I’m saying is as a matter of practical planning for the fiscal future of the United States your answer can’t be, well we’ll have stronger growth. Yeah, if we grow at 6%, we don’t need to do anything. Everything is solvent, right? But I can’t wish for that. We’ve got to plan realistically.

Just cut taxes and everything will be taken care of. Executives at Corporations will use it to hire US citizens and not continue to stuff their already bloated wallets. Real Estate taxes will remain the same unlike when Bush cut taxes and they went up EVERY ****ING YEAR. If that doesn't work then certainly WWIII will do the trick, it worked in the 40's right?
