Notice the attribution of the current market decline, AKA recession, to Bush tax cuts? Recall the Reagan tax cuts followed by increases in federal revenue followed by a spending orgy by the Congress?) If you take office with 4% inflation and 6% interest rates and in four years without a major cultural shock like a 9/11 or significant war the inflation rate has skyrocketed and interest rates make home owners instantly "wealthy" but home buyers turn into apartment seekers, you take the blame. If your successor cuts taxes and within three years the indicators are significantly reversed, we can assume a cause/effect relationship.

Analyst: Obama Would Be A Nightmare For Defense Programs, Firms Defense Daily If Sen. Barak Obama of Illinois wins the Democratic presidential nomination and then goes on to be elected to the White House, the defense industry better brace for tough times, according to Heidi Wood, Morgan Stanley defense analyst. other industries would benefit and we need to spend money on the U.S. Except Big spending Lib programs Generally mean Big Government rather the private enterprise. Thus more money to the rat holes of midnight Basketball, Head start, & God only knows what program they come up with for this housing crisis. |

Someone can explain to me the contradictory justapoxition of "tax cuts" and "increases in federal revenue" ? When we in the USA talk about tax cuts, we are real talking about income tax rate cuts. Our problem is that most people think that all you have to do to increase governement revenue is increase the income tax rate. This is true for people is the lower tax rates, but not true for people in higher tax rate. That is because as income tax rate grow, it effect how people generate income. The higher the income tax rate, the more adventagest for people to do things to avoid being taxed on their income. This reduces the amount of money the government take in. To make things worst, this effect gets exponentually bigger ( more lost revenue) as the taxs rates grow higher. Now at some point, the lost in revenue outstrips the increases revenue from the higher tax rate, increasing tax rate above that point results in the government losing money. Now some people claim that all the government has to do is pulg up 'tax loop holes' to 'fix' the problem, This does not realy work, since there is two loopholes that can not be filled. One people can deal taking their profits and let their current investment grow (very bad for the economy) and secong they can invest their mont were the government can't get it. |

Glenn D. A fair objection. The rates were set by Paul Volker in a system designed to shield the setting of interest rates from immediate political control. Yet Volker was nominated my Carter, so there is some connection. The concurrent high inflation and high unemployment rates of the '70s does not fit well with standard economic theories, even after all these years I have not seen a good academic explanation. I think this is part of the reason that people don't take economics seriously anymore. The real problem with Carter was that he was a white Southerner who supported segregation during the Civil Rights movement and tried to make up for it later on by (deleted) any non-white person who came along. |
