http://www.thehill.com/news/110603/delay.aspx On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Gephardt sought to claim credit for tax cuts rather than attacking them. “The Democratic-induced parts of the tax cuts went to the middle class and people got the benefit of that,” he said, “so that helped some.”
The RNC press release noted that Gephardt opposed the 2001 and 2003 tax bills.
Gephardt’s rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination have not curtailed their criticisms, despite the high quarterly growth figure, which remains subject to revision by government economists.
I thought the tax cuts were the PROBLEM with the economy (even before they went into effect somehow) because they're causing the budget deficit which is harming the economy. We need a tax INCREASE don't we? Apparently the tax cuts are turning the economy around and are the PROBLEM at the same time.
