re: #155 engineer dog
trying to produce economic growth by lowering taxes on upper income earners is merely a variation on keynsian pump priming. it has long since been shown that the effectiveness of this approach is limited
both david stockman and allan greenspan, iirc, have explicitly stated recently that tax increases are sorely needed at this point
I’d agree with them—and in combination with entitlement reforms. Taxes alone aren’t going to be enough.
