IF higher taxes will create jobs, why did the stimulus fail?
The stimulus didn't raise taxes. It lowered them.

The stimulus didn't raise taxes. It lowered them.

Not according to the CBO.
Not by a credible source.And it still failed.
Not according to the CBO.
That was debunked about 5 minutes after it came out ...
and has been continuously shown so every time some brain dead leftist brings this up.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "succeed" and "fail." If you mean it restored economic vitality and growth to the country, it was the worst most expensive failed policy since Smoot Hawley. If you mean it provided a huge amount of pork for Obama's constituents and greased the skids for further Dem election victories, I can't argue with that.
Credible=Supports what I think.Not by a credible source.Not according to the CBO.

You're right, the stimulus wasn't big enough, I agree.

The CBO itself indicates its methodology but I guess you wouldnt call teh CBO reliable since it disagrees with you.
Yes, it wasn't big enough. It was bigger than anything that had been kicked around and still failed. So we should reinforce failure by spending more money.
You people are incredible.
Joblessness went down under Obama, the stimulus was a success.
Mitt isn't President. Duh.
The UK's austerity has been a massive flop. Labour will be back in power soon, and austerity will be completely at fault.
According to Paul Krugman the Stimulus failed because not enough money was spent.

If cutting taxes for the rich creates jobs why is unemployment still where it is?

How much X GDP did they spend between 1940 and 1945? How did the economy do 1945-1950?
