The economy is a result of actions of millions of people. People respond (predictably) to appropriate actions. Give them a check, and they will spend it. Give them a tax cut, and they will permanently adjust their economic behavior.
You did not respond to my arguments. Just plainly stated a support of tax cuts. I get the plain logic, but the specific post was about a targeted tax cut to support hiring people, not a “general” tax cut.
By your logic cutting taxes on cigarettes would help the general economy. Which it might, but it would also increase smoking - which might not be so good.
Feel free to respond to the specific points. I don’t disagree with you in general, but I was defending my point that there was nothing Obama or any president could have done in 6 months short of full scale socalism to affect the employment rate in any effective manner. I stand by that statement.
