Not one of these clowns is a real economist with any genuine intellectual heft. That list is a joke.
If the economy is "sluggist" after the tax cuts, how would these pointy headed fools account for the increase in the amount of taxes collected.
Who cares? Ad hominems won't cut it as a refutation of facts or ideas.

One could say - with quite a bit of justice - that no econmists have any genuine intellectual heft. But Kuttner and Thurow are good.
But all this is irrelevant. The article is simple as could be; All job creation since Bush took office can be fairly attributed to increased government spending. The tax cuts - which mostly went to wealthy individuals - contributed nothing which means that the beneficiaries of the cuts didn't think investing in job creation in America was a good idea.
Wrong or right? Supporting evidence?
