65 years of data and they still refuse to acknowledge the reality that tax cuts don’t work.

“Let’s be smart about it,” Governor Snyder said, before being jaw-droppingly stupid about it.

That tax cuts boost the economy is an article of faith for Rs. Indeed, it’s the first tenet of the Republican catechism and is ferociously defended by the True Believers (and, at least in public, they’re all True Believers). It’s hooey—our three-decades–long national experiement in R economic policy has proved that beyond any reasonable doubt—and the brighter Rs know it’s hooey, but they continue to sell the snake oil.

Karen Holcomb-Merrill, policy director, Michigan League for Public Policy, said across-the-board tax cuts only serve to drain resources from the very programs and services that fuel economic growth.

Which is actually why the Rs like tax cuts so much. They’re sadistic as well as economic illiterates.

It’s only a budget surplus if you refuse to restore cuts or increase budgets for education and other social programs and/or infrastructure projects.

That bastard accumulated those monies by soaking the working poor and senior citizens (retirees).
And you’re right. He’ll give the money to his friends.

Fucking wussy prick!

Chances are good (barring the emo-baggers sitting out the vote) that he’ll lose this election.
