The idea surely is not new -- Reagan proved it beyond any doubt -- which of course, our fine socialists claim never happened, and that Al "Clinton" Capone was the cause of our good economy (by RAISING TAXES and doing nothing else) --

Socialists don't care about the economy. They only care about controlling as much of your wealth they can. NOTHING else matters -- just ask Clinton or the 9/11 Commission, about Atta,...his presence did not matter either. Of course the ghosts of 3000 dead Americans would not agree...

President Bush and Congress can spur greater economic growth by overhauling the current system with the Fair Tax. Bills HR25 and S25. It is estimated the gross domestic product (GDP) would increase by an estimated 10.5 percent in the first year alone. The FairTax as proposed raises the economy’s capital stock by 42 percent, its labor supply by four percent, its output by 12 percent, and its real wage rate by eight percent.

If I remember correctly, the lion's share of the Bush tax cuts won't go into effect until after Bush is back in Crawford.

Unemployment? Some forecasters now believe it will dive deep into the mid-4 per cent range.

The effect of Americans having to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet?

Let's see, Bush is fighting a politically correct war; refusing to address the flood of illegal trespassers; is speechless on the current gas prices and his numbers are in the toilet. Hmmm,'06 should be real exciting.

The dominant philosophy of the period, Keynesianism, emphasised government spending as the best tool for growth.

And for the most part, GWB is a Keynesian. He's certainly fulfilled the government spending part. It was only the last phase of the tax cuts that included supply-side features. GWB saw that his relection chances were fading and caved in to the supply-siders in 2003.

A very hopeful straw in the wind. Thanks a lot for posting it.

Of course it's not freeky! It has worked EVERY SINGLE TIME it has been tried since the implementation of the communist inspired "Progressive" income tax!
