    I'm not DUMB like conservatives are, I could see MYSELF through the impirical evidence that this was the case. People have been looking to the sky for trickle down for 30 years and seen ZILCH!

    Amen to that!! (BTW, Black people saw through the BS, THE WHOLE TIME as well. Yet another reason MOST minorities aren't voting for Romney/Republicans.) :)

    Republicans use A LOT OF DECEPTION. :(

    Because it was incorrect which the agency agreed with and decided to pull it.

    I know that democrats have no issue with the validity of information when it makes Obama look good but if its not factually correct it needs to be re-worked. Sorry but that's how rational people operate in the adult world.

    Nothing you posted pointed to "incorrect."

    I would read it again then.

    Focus on this part.

    They also protested on economic grounds, saying that the author, Thomas L. Hungerford, was looking for a macroeconomic response to tax cuts within the first year of the policy change without sufficiently taking into account the time lag of economic policies. Further, they complained that his analysis had not taken into account other policies affecting growth, such as the Federal Reserve’s decisions on interest rates.

    Lag time on economic policies? Why do you keep referencing Obama destroying America over 4 years? Also, crying about interest rates just reeks of "we have nothing else to desperately hang onto in the face of this data."

    Apparently the agency agreed that the republicans had some good points so go argue with them about it.

    I wasn't there.

    erm...no they didnt

    "The decision, made in late September against the advice of the agency’s economic team leadership"



    so why do you think their economic leadership advised them not to pull it ?

    You mean, the Republicans threatened agency leadership until they had no choice.

    And you continue to claim that you are not the board's racist. Awesome. If you will pardon the pun, your racism colors everything about you.

    Yep. Trickle down DOES NOT WORK... and we KNOW it (by now). The experts are finally SHOWING why.

    What about it?

    Have you ever written a report and had to defend it? Of course they are going to say its accurate but the "editors" or whoever makes the decisions did not agree with their research.

    This particular agency has put out information in the past that is negative to one side or the other so they aren't afraid of a little political pressure. Obviously they concluded that the research was incomplete or wrong in some way.

    I've heard of no threats but if you have some proof of that then by all means share it with us.

    Mr. Hungerford tells us the study wasn't requested by a Member of Congress, so perhaps it was his idea. You won't be surprised to learn that Mr. Hungerford has donated to the Obama campaign and Senate Democrats and worked as an economist at the White House budget office under Bill Clinton.​

    An Obama supporter in government uses his position to make the case for the one term Marxist's agenda. What could possibly be wrong with that?

    oh they have have they show me an example then ? its pathetic the way the right will lie just to retain their position, youve just been PROVEN wrong, you LOST this little debate, but still you cling, I think youre pathetic, an excuse for a human being, when faced with facts that you dont like you bury your head in the sand, pathetic.

    I knew that was obviously racial. You can take it or leave it; but the BS coming from the Right has been DETECTABLE for a very long time.

    If you don't think you are taxed enough you are always free to send in whatever you earn to the treasury. So figure out what your worth and write the check.

    You've yet to provide anything that proves the study wrong.

    I don't have to, I don't work for the agency.

    They apparently did find something wrong with it which is why they pulled it.

    You should call them and ask them if your curious.

    Just stop with that STUPID LINE... please!!

    The reality is the "trickle down" is proven to NOT be efficacious. And the math-geeky, economic experts are going to SHOW IT, with spotlights on it!!

    Thank God!!!

    It is a study with a political agenda. Radical Karl's collected writings fill fifty volumes. I am sure Mr. Marx's web site will make room for this study.

    Ah, so someone can't set aside personal politics to do his job? I find that hard to believe, since I do it every day. This piece of research was reviewed by many layers within the nonpartisan organization and was still published; that proves its lack of partisanship.
