Jan. 21st, 2006 02:05 pmI really think my tin of peppermint bark should be just a little less difficult to get into than Fort Knox. :-)
On CNN just now I heard W claiming that his tax cuts have created jobs. I assume this is untrue in practice, because at this point if he said the sky was blue, I'd look out the window to check. But can anyone explain to me how it would even work in theory? Is the measly couple hundred dollars most middle-class families get from these cuts really enough disposable income to create enough of a larger demand for products that it would give even one extra person a job? Even allowing that they put that $200 or whatever back into the economy instead of saving it or spending it on gas or their heating bill? I mean, WTF?
