It bothers me that people will write things like the above. Do you find the above statement to be particularly persuasive? >The national debt, in real terms, went down by a factor of four between '46 >and '80. It ballooned under the two Bushes and Reagan, So, what is this so-called "trickle-down" economics practiced by the two Bushes and Reagan??? (And in what way is this so-called "trickle-down" economics tied to the nominal balancing of the annual budget?) As near as I can tell, your "trickle-down" economics is both tax cuts (Reagan I and W.) *and* tax hikes (Bush I and arguably Reagan II). Once again, no matter what Republicans do is wrong, and what Democrats do is right. Its the same one-trick pony Dan....
