You don't know where to begin? How about telling us how tax cuts (which means we get to keep a little more of our money) have a "tremendous impact" on the recession?

This recession was caused by 2 things...the subprime mortgage crisis, and fishy financial products that were leveraged to risky mortgages.

If you can tell me how tax cuts (especially tax cuts that were followed by INCREASES in tax revenue) had a "tremendous impact" on this recession, well, I am all ears...

I'll even get you started, how's that? You just fill in the blank. Here we go...

I, Spence, admit that the Bush tax cuts meant that all Americans got to keep a higher percentage of their incomes. Furthermore, after those tax cuts, I concede that tax revenue collected by the feds increased. I, Spence, feel that had a "tremendous impact" on the recession because_______________________________"

There. Now you know precisely where to begin.

Good luck, you'll need it...
