So let me get this straight:
1....This is analysis?<br /><br />So let me get this straight:<br />1. You reduce tax rates and increase tax revenues.<br /><br />2. You prevent the Congressional con artists from hiding their increase expenditures.<br /><br />This process is the same as a blatant political sham.<br />A. Democrats bargain for an increase in expenditures in exchange for tax rate cuts.<br /><br />B. This rate cut creates more tax revenue.<br /><br />C. The Democrats through CBO make up numbers about the revenue projections and expenditures that bear no sense of resemblance to reality. (Many of these expenditures are in the nature of entitlements that are not controllable.)<br /><br />All I can do is quote Saturday Night Live's old news team: Really? Really?! REALLY?!<br /><br />This analysis is a huge example of fallacy: post hoc ergo propter hoc, after the fact therefore because of the fact.<br /><br />The two analyses bear no resemblance to each other.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101219521279043678noreply@blogger.com
