I apologize for being too brief. Bad habit of mine.

You said: :A lot of people swore that if the Bush tax cut passed, the economy would tank."

I guess from your posts that you are loading up to let this "lot of people" have it with both barrels.

What I want to know is whether "these people" actually exist. What I mean is this: the only economic objections to the tax cuts that I have heard, deal with the effect of adding debt. I have never heard anyone making this objection, claim that adding this debt would cause the economy to tank in the short term. (although, in the long-term I will assert that govt. debt can have catastrophic consequences. If we continue to borrow and spend like this for the next 10 years, and if the economy isn't in a deep recession, then you have my permission to gloat at me.)

I was asking you to give me a link to someone who made such a claim, so I would know who you were going to gloat at.
