So we should cut the rate to 25 percent, or whatever’s competitive, and eliminate a lot of the deductions so that we still get a fair amount, and there’s not so much variance in what the corporations pay." ~Bill ClintonLandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294005207659938731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148170961078476311.post-49222591601924945662011-07-02T18:07:04.152-07:002011-07-02T18:07:04.152-07:00Were you to actually admit that you can "lear...Were you to actually admit that you can "learn" anything outside your pre-concieved "static econometric analyses" metric, I would be happy to avail you of the state of the art in "dynamic econometric modeling" from the perspective of someone who has actually worked it in practice. <br /><br />You are hopelessly and inexorably "tied" to the "static-statist" based 'luminaria' that $1 in tax cuts equates to $1 in increased deficit(s). I know this is "easy" for your primarily Poly-Sci mind to get its metaphorical 'arms' around (as well as your public school matriculated minions), but you really are glaringly deficient in your forms of analyses. It is embarrasingly laughable to those of us not "saddled" with said limitations.<br /><br />Of course, not only will you 'respectfully' disagree with this, you most likely will not even "approve" of this addition to your forum ("open" blog). ;)Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294005207659938731noreply@blogger.com
