that was a beauty wasn't it?...yikes.....

I don't think anyone has suggested that tax cuts alone "do" work ...except for Spence setting up yet another straw man...beyond meaningful spending reductions which are almost always included in discussions of tax cuts but are seldom included in the final conclusion except as down the road intentions, tax cuts are the last and probably best way to starve the beast and to try to keep money in the private sector where it can grow the economy rather than growing the governement bureaucracy....
