Bush has it right on taxes
By Lawrence Kudlow
August 24, 2006
Some conservatives are alleging the president suffers from an inability to communicate with the American people, and there may be some overrated truth to this. But in a news conference last Friday, we saw George W. Bush at his communicating best.
Commenting as I go here.... yup, communication is certainly not George W. Bush's strong suit, but he does seem to be able to tout the economic accomplishments of his administration pretty well, and deservedly so.
Following a Camp David meeting with his economic advisers, the president let 'er rip, saying: "The foundation of our economy is solid, and it's strong. Because of the tax cuts we passed, American workers and families and small businesses are keeping more of the money they earn. And they're using that money to drive this economy of ours forward." Could he be any clearer?
... even if he could be any clearer, would it matter to the Bush bashers and nay sayers? Not one bit. They don't care how wrong they are, nor how much they seem like Chicken Littles for touting doom and gloom in the economy that hasn't come to pass. They care only in being able to denigrate the current President of the U.S.A. and harming him and his party as much as possible.
The statements above though are dead on. The economy is solid, and it is because of the Bush tax-cuts. The Bush tax-cuts did as they were supposed to and stimulated the economy and in so doing have produced record revenue levels, and massive growth in employment to help dig us out of the post internet/tech-bubble bust. Were it not for those cuts, the economy could still be sputtering along as many U.S. citizens sat around hoping for a call, any call, from some potential employer.
The facts are that thanks to those cuts more money was available for capital spending, and more money was available for virtually all tax-paying U.S. citizens to use to spend as they saw fit, consuming goods and services and helping to drive demand for more goods and services which would require more workers to produce or provide.
