re: #115 engineer dog

if the economy grew because of tax cuts, why did the economy grow so much more robustly in the 90s after the clinton tax increases? your assertion doesn’t make sense

(set the start date on this graph to 1980 and compare gdp growth in the 90s and the 00s)

I stated what I though about the 90’s and made it very clear that I believed it was a classic boom to bust scenario, having nothing to do with tax rates. In fact I argued above that tax rates probably should have been higher.

Are you claiming there is a clear inverse relationship between tax rates and economic growth?
