We're talking past each other. Everything I've posted on the subject asserted that supply side meant reducing taxes to stimulate economic activity. No dispute there.
Except it doesn't work, not without increasing deficits and as you read, WITHOUT assuring GDP growth much less creating jobs.
So your claims that supply side tax cuts 'enable' tax hikes is fairy dust economics, apparently the only kind you studied or believe in.
And your comparison of widget surpluses to a budget surplus is pure horse shit. If a Republican president produced a budget surplus they would crow from morning till dusk, 'fiscal sanity' and such.
Bush could have use that surplus to build infrastructure or use it to help to pay for the war and Medicare D.
At the very least he should have left the Clinton tax rates in place, no hikes, no cuts. He picked the absolute worst thing to do.
Your inability to admit that the Republican do anything wrong economically or otherwise is silly.
I'm going to go have to go back to posting the long association of Dem Presidents with greater job creation, lower unemployment and higher stock market valuations.
IFthat association were favorable to Republicans, the association would become causation, no ifs ands or buts. We both know it would.
