I'm not kidding in the slightest. I've never understood orthodox economics to be much of a 'pure science' of sorts anyhow. Anyone can feed numbers into charts and graphs and come out with an impressive result.
I'm more specifically talking about the effects of tax cuts and their way of stimulating economic growth.Bush and MOST GOP understand it. Reagan understood it. It seems the last Democrat that understood it was John F. Kennedy.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the after-effects during the 60's, 80's - 90's, and the current rebound to figure it out.
Demokrauts think that raising taxes is good for the economy.
