The One Size Fits All Republican Economic Policy

Republicans have only one economic policy.

Surplus: tax cut.

Deficit: tax cuts.

Recession: Tax cut.

Stimulus package: tax cut.

"You cut taxes and the tax revenues increase," President bush told the American people. The Congressional Budget Office found the President's tax cuts did not create the promise budget surplus. In 2006, Bush's Treasury Department correctly predicted that the Bush tax cuts would create less revenue growth than the 1980s and 1990s.

This lack of Republican economic ignorance makes Congressional candidate David Rivera's tweet all the more troublesome.

FL’s unemployment rate reached a record 12.3%. In Congress I'll work to pass tax cuts & incentives to spur job creation & econ growth.

This is why I tell people members of Congress should be forced to take an economics class.
