I think the initial tax cuts had a positive impact...but to make a generic statement like that goes into the realm of rhetoric.

My lawn is crabgrass free this summer, the Bush tax cuts worked!

etc...

But I've never heard anyone successfully argue that the additional or extended cuts have had a large impact.

And I'd also mention that the tax cuts are only a piece of a larger fiscal policy, which has increased our debt to astronomical levels.

The Bush economic plan, to cut taxes while increasing spending is simply insane.
