Short-term, a few FRN’s. In terms of purchasing power, not so much. Saying my taxes went down in any meaningful long-term sense, in this context, is a bit like saying that my income went up because I deposited those “free” cash advance checks that the credit card company sent me into my bank account.

A real tax cut would be a spending cut, in our current budget mess.

Seriously, do nominal tax rate reductions account for all the other things that W did??

Apparently not. And I do note your misuse of the word, "nominal." In any case, I will refer some of my fellow supply-siders to this thread as an example of what passes for economic analysis these days. So I'm not going behind your back . . . I'm laughing at you to your face.
