Default Happy fucking anniversary!!!

Mother Jones – Tenth Anniversary of the Bush Tax Cuts

Quote:
Between 2001 and 2010, the Bush tax cuts added $2.6 trillion to the public debt, 50 percent of the total debt accrued during that time. Over the past 10 years, the country has spent more than $400 billion just servicing the debt created by the cuts...

Between 2002 and 2007, employment increased by less than 1 percent when the economy was supposed to be expanding. Employment growth barely kept pace with population growth. Between the end of 2001, when the country was in a recession, and the peak of the real estate bubble, er, economic expansion in 2007, the US economy performed worse than at any time since the end of World War II...

Median weekly earnings fell more than 2 percent between 2001 and 2007. Meanwhile, people making over $3 million a year, who account for just 0.1 percent of taxpayers, got an average tax cut of $520,000, more than 450 times what the average middle-income family received.
Clearly these tax breaks created jobs and helped the working class because of the scientifically proven trickle down effect.

Ah Mother Jones.

Quick, someone post a link from WND that says exactly the opposite.

It could be worse. It could always be worse.

honestly if that's the comparison you jump to then i feel pretty good about the state of the "liberal media." it's such an asinine comparison, but i can see how it would be difficult to find a conservative leaning outlet that relies on facts as much as mother jones.

there's a ton of factors that go into those aspects cited in what you quoted redbree, it would be foolish to tie it all to any one thing.

Yes. Mother Jones uses facts and then draws completely unrelated consequences using those facts.

See, watch this:
Bush cut taxes.
SEAL Team 6 killed Bin Laden.

Ergo, Bush's tax cuts helped SEAL Team 6 kill Bin Laden.

I have to have some pity on Nimrod, I'm sure it's really frustrating being such a stupid fucking dick
