Maybe they helped fuel the dot-com bubble,by making it cheaper and more attractive, to take risk on new technologies and products? Maybe they made that surge better than it would have been, without it? Way too many moving pieces.

The growth during the Clinton and Bush years, was unlike anything my generation has seen. I'm not sure you've shot down my proposition that it might be a good idea to replicate that. Today, there are lots of technology and green energy ideas on the verge of taking off. Maybe tax cuts could help spur that along. Maybe it's worth a try. Anyone who claims to know that it can't work, is blinded buy ideology. If the Democrats were proposing this, everyone here knows you'd be cheerleading for it.
