Where's the bar showing the results from the first round of tax cuts? Cut taxes when the LEI is up and you ave a good chance of looking good. Notice how steep the revenue loss was in 2001 through mid 2003 long after the first tax cut? This kind of analysis is so obviously cherry picked it's ridiculous. To not even include a first tax cut marker is blatently dishonest. They weren't even honest enought to show the entire jobs picture from the start of Bush's term.
A real analysis would show a comparison of the revenue changes over the last two recessions from their start or better yet an average of recoveries with policies like the last one and ones with policies like the previous one. The Clinton recovery was one of the best and longest in my opinion precisely because we didn't pull the types of political stunts Bush did. We didn't pile on debt to add fuel to the inflation fire once the recovery started.
