if you think the economy was better under Jimmy Carter your a moron, likewise if you think Reagan's tax cuts didn't pull us out of Jimmy Carter's morass of the 70's you need some mental help.

If you're going to call people morons, I suggest that you at least get your spelling right. In your statement above, I think you meant to say "you're a moron", not "your a moron". Likewise, you might want to change the "your an anvil" in your signature to "you're a anvil".

In any case, the graph at http://home.att.net/~rdavis2/realgdp.html shows that it wasn't real GDP growth that was a problem under Carter. The problem was inflation. However, the graph at http://home.att.net/~rdavis2/cpi_m2.html shows the increase in inflation began before Carter and closely followed the increase in the money supply. It was likely the high spending on the Vietnam War and/or Johnson's Great Society that let to that growth.

In any case, that is all off the topic. My prior message dealt strictly with the false notion that Reagan's tax cuts caused revenues to grow. I've given the analysis at http://home.att.net/~rdavis2/taxcuts.html to numerous supply-siders and am yet to run into one who can contradict it. Can you find any error or do you have any specific disagreement with it?

Point taken on the grammar, I admit English class was my worst subject. I'm proud to say in high school I had more class time in English than anyone other student 4 years of English during the year, then 4 years of summer school for English, and I still can't get it right. Maybe I should have taken the subject more seriously.
