You really think that? New Deal anyone?

Lower Taxes frees up money for the economy to run on. Take the ammount
of money out of the system back then and you would get a lower GDP.,
simple as that.

Kyle,


Imagine if the taxes had been left in place, with all the external factors in the market, corporate scandals, 911, ect…
The growth would have been much lower or negative. The tax cutts
allowed a damned economy to survive and even grow dispite all that
happened.

The economy is subject to natural fluctuations that occur independent
of policy decisions. The effect of spending or taxes is highly
exaggerated.

It’s not too surprising. We see negative growth in 2000 and 2001,
followed by recovery, with the largest growth in 2003, followed by a
steady, slower growth since. That matches pretty well with the reports
I’ve been hearing on the news.

A few questions come to mind:

This graph only shows the last five years. How does this compare with the GDP growth in the 90s? The 80s?

How does it compare with economists’ predictions and expectations for
GDP growth during the same time, particularly with respect to the
effects of Bush’s tax cuts?

Why the relatively high growth rate in the middle of 2003? Does it have anything to do with the invasion of Iraq?
