BUT- I think the stupidest thing he did was cut taxes, then go to war. I know why he did it. He wanted to keep his campaign promise (unlike his father), but the circumstances where much different after 9/11

 

THe stupidest thing he ever did, was invade Iraq. Cutting taxes is a good thing.

Here is an interesting statistic. Every year the government cuts taxes, they collect more money. If the goal is to generate more income for the government, why would you raise them?

 

I don't know about that in all circumstances, but I have read i the wall street journal that raising taxes on cigarettes typically decreses cigarette tax revenue. This is why democrats are looking for NEW kinds of taxes, such as a carbo cap and trade system that they can tax.
