Hahahahaha. Tea party republicans push for regressive tax hike.

The phrasing “we can’t grow out of it through tax cuts” makes it very clear that Mr Smashy is suggesting supply-side stimulus. (Tax revenues will eventually increase in a growing economy.) This was no typographical error.

It was no “typo” – see above. I will agree with you, if it’s what you’re implying, that advocating further tax cuts is mistaken, but I don’t see how Mr Smashy’s sentence can be interpreted otherwise.

We spent more than a trillion on stimulus like TARP – but most of that was directed to prevent losses by big Wall St. investors. The FRB injected more than a trillion with its QE programs – much of that was directed to investment in East Asian economies. I don’t know whether to hope for another trillion of stimulus or not. It would be good if properly directed for a change but will it be? And is anyone other than Mr Smashy seriously asking for more tax cuts? :confused: :smack:

@ Kearsen - I do need to work on my tone. The fact is that I am easily irritated, because the matters we’re debating are very serious, and I’m tired of the hypocrisies, strawmen, misrepresentations, and hyperpartisism.

But you pretend to believe Mr Smashy made a typo (please reread and tell us if that is sensical) and then jump “all over [septimus] like it was fresh banana pudding.” Willful ignorance makes me cringe.
