I can ask the same about Bush tax cuts. If they were so great for economic growth, why was job creation so poor and why didn't they sustain any growth and we had the meltdown? http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2009/01/09/bush-on-jobs-the-worst-track-record-on-record/ What you said about deficit spending doubles for tax cuts to regarding the deficits. Creating jobs in China doesn't help the United States. |
No true fiscal conservative would argue for cutting taxes without proportionate cuts in spending, so an increased deficit from tax cuts isn't a justified act.
With that said though, after the dot-com bubble the liberal pundits waited (about) 6 months before bashing Bush for not repairing the economy; and while his actions were short sighted, when his administration claimed that there was an recovery underway there was actually a recovery underway.
