Why don’t republicans seem to understand the consequences of tax cuts?

[The5thHorseman]

Jesus. Two quarters of negative GDP growth is ONE indicator of recession.

And GDP jumped right back up genius.

If that was a recession (it wasn’t) , it was the shortest and shallowest on record

They were told Brandon changed "the accepted definition".....now they are changing the definition...

What part of "immediately doubling the deficit and shortly thereafter quadrupling the debt" are you struggling, Bri?

The math?

I don't understand where you believe tax cuts were responsible. Democrat social spending was responsible.

We weren't "TOLD" any such thing. That's definition economists have been using for decades. What are we changing the definition to?

No, it wasn't, Bri.

Stop making xit up.

No, it isn't.....it's a TEACHING TOOL, tool.

Not since JFK

Not even close.

Really?

Really?

This thread didn’t age well for the idiot OP, or the uneducated moron Horsesass.

 

[The5thHorseman]

Really?

You people are morons.

LOOK! REVENUES ROSE....IT MUST BE THE TAX CUTS! HALLELUJAH...AH KIN SEE...PASS DA SNAYUK!

If you reduce revenues by 5%, gdp growth of 2% per year will put you back at par in about 2.5 years...

But that's 2.5 years with a "structural" shortage...

unless revenues accelerate, you won't make up the shortfall. This is particularly true given that Supply Side Hucksters actually spend MORE.



This is rather obvious from the exploding deficits...

But slack jawed rubes continue to bite down hard on that stinkbait.


Because they're morons.

Really?

AGAIN...revenue always increases as long as GDP increases. Prove that they increased more than they already were or increased as a function of GDP and you win the argument.

You can't

The OP claims they DECREASED. That has been proven to be a lie, Simp.

Did he say "as a function of GDP"

I believe he did. Which makes YOU the liar SIMP

It’s a pretty basic concept. If spending is not adequately cut and taxes are cut (something republicans do), this means that there is less revenue to pay for spending

 

[bripat9643]

No, it wasn't, Bri.

Stop making xit up.

Yes it was. It's always responsible. Social Spending is 80% of the budget.

Poorly put. You could say wrong. Fair enough

But the bottom line is that tax cuts nearly always increase debt...and THAT is the issue...no?

How do they increase debt if revenues go up?

What are you talking about?

No it isn't, bri...

You're too stupid to live.

 

[Lesh]

How do they increase debt if revenues go up?

Revenue always goes up. Does it go up enough after a tax cut to cover that tax cut?
Nope

Would it have gone up MORE if taxes hadn't been cut?

Yup

Yup

You have no data to support your claim.


Increased revenue doesn’t cause increased debt, Dumbass.

I never said it does jackass.

Tax cuts increase debt.
