    You are saying that a higher minimum wage causes capital ?? Explain how that works.

    What does that mean ?? Explain how Keynesian economics brought the US into the First World. What is the First World ?? What part of Keynesian economics is responsible for bringing the US into this First World ??

    why? I never said they didn't. You've been called on that moronic strawman a dozen times.

    it means, you really are clueless and Causeless. Why not read something about economics.

    Tax cut economics only leads to deficits and debt; not upgraded infrastructure.

    It's what I said and you said it's been refuted now you admit you never did. Can you at least try to get your story straight.

    Now list what they did to help mitigate the recession that started a year later and what was the success.

    tech boom produced the growth. Supply side, as you know, is a proven failure.

    My story has remained the same since we started this exchange in other threads. Your argument about who caused the recession has been completely refuted. You know that, and so you throw out pathetic strawmen in an attempt to divert away from the fact your argument has been refuted. It's pathetic, and you've been called on it numerous times, by numerous posters.

    They turned around the republican recession. They took UE from over 10% to under 5%. Stock market doubled to record highs, and had the most consecutive months of jobs growth of any president in US history.

    I've never made a claim about who CAUSED a recession stop with the fallacious statements and try to debate what I actually say.

    UE went from 4.5% January of 2007 to 10% and they kept it over 9% for the next three years in spite of their stimulus which was promised to keep it to just 8% and pitiful jobs growth as during their time is certainly nothing to brag about. Then of course their taking the last Republican deficit of just $161B to over $1,400B in just two years was the height of the failures of their policies. You still aren't claiming Bush should have vetoed the 2009 budget are you?

    Source ?? Of course there is none. The contention that supply side economic policies do not work and that all the economic growth from Reagan through Bush 43 including Clinton was the result of technology boom is certainly book worthy. But no books ?? Why is that ??

    It doesn't matter what I believe. The numbers speak for themselves. Wages are down after the tax cut, as shown in the link I cited.

    I've seen rosy, optimistic projections on the GDP before, and then "adjusted" right back to the same level they were projected to be before the rosier projection was made. The tax cut requires sustained 3% growth in the GDP to pay for itself…. not projected 3% growth.

    The Rs are running on immigration. Maybe you're not in a state with a primary, but I am, and I'm in a red state. The R ads are not on the tax cut, but they are on immigration. Why would Trump talk tax cuts 2.0 before the midterms, if the original tax cut was selling well?

    That wasn’t the guarantee to sell the stimulus ??
