larry kudlow book on Bush Boom

[swinney]

When you read about it remember one major point---

KUDLOW WAS ECONOMIC ADVISER TO REAGAN AND CONVINCED HIM HIS TAX CUT WAS OK BUT WE EXPERIENCED 80% INCREASE IN SPENDING(BUSH BUDGETS), 187% INCREASE IN DEBT(1700 BILLION AFTER ONLY 917 BILLION OVER 200 YEARS) AND 112% INCREASE IN DEFICIT.

kudlow and other tried in vain to say reagan's tax cuts increased revenues by 390 billion. Yep! Revenues went up that much.
BUT----payroll tax increase was 201 B and Excise taxes 50B.
Oh! How these people act to deceive. Have they no honor?


COCAINE ADDICT--COCAINE ADDICT----

HE WAS ON THE WHITE STUFF WHILE MISADVISING REAGAN.

RECALL THE YEARS HE CAME ON TV WEARING SUNGLASSES?

SCORCHED BRAIN ADVISING ANOTHER SCORCHED BRAIN. WOW!

1. The US Media never remembers the Reagan payroll tax increases

and the Reagan increase in the retirement age to 67 from 65.

"how partisan and unaccountable" the GOP can be about facts not really true about "good things Reagan did" is a direct result of how little the media are doing about preventing via exposing the GOP lies.

2. DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW IT AT AMAZON.COM!

"The Bush Boom"

Please, let's show this book the door, figuratively speaking!

3. I'm convinced that Larry Kudlow..

..is Satan. The guy is a Reaganist, neo-con, AEI member who supports Bush like nobody else. A book called "The Bush Boom"? The only Bush "boom" is the way he took an excellent economy and bombed it into a quagmire of economic devastation. I guess to greedy imperialists like Kudlow, tax cuts for the rich (like himself) ARE the identifying factors of an economic boom!

4. The only 'boom' for the cheerleader in chief

is sis boom bah!

5. He is one brain-dead economist.

In 2000 in the months leading up to the election, the market was sliding downward. Kudlow kept explaining it was because the market was waiting to see if Bush was elected. Same thing in November, when the market kept creeping lower. He blamed it on the uncertainty about Bush being elected and persistantly claimed that as soon as he was elected the market would boom. Just the opposite happened.

Anyone who takes economic advice from that moron deserves what they get.

6. Kudlow is the grinning jackal

who didn't even try to hide his glee after 911. He knew what it meant -- Christmas for the neocons, tax warriors, and supply-siders. Bush could get whatever he wanted, for the asking.

He wrote a column last year goading Bush into immediate war with Iraq, because he was sure that it would BOOST A TEPID STOCK MARKET. In it, he indulged his inner commando and spun a piece-of-cake tactical scenario:

Taking Back the Market — By Force

...

Decisive shock therapy to revive the American spirit would surely come with a U.S. invasion of Iraq. Why not begin with a large-scale special-forces commando raid on the Iraqi oil fields? This will send a shot across Saddam's bow; an electrifying signal to all terrorist nations. The message will be that the game is up. Surrender now or you will be crushed in a short while.

Meanwhile, Saddam's cash flow can be cut off. Oil is his only crop, his single manufacture. Without money there will be nothing left to steal, and nothing to use to pay off his cronies.

A couple of weeks later a final assault on Baghdad can take place. A small war, to use Wall Street Journal editorialist Max Boot's lexicon, led by fast-moving special forces and leather-toughened Marines, and assisted by high-tech precision bombs and air cover, can get the job done. All-out war mobilization is unnecessary. Iraq will fall with much less. At the same time, U.S. special forces must conduct a similar sweep to root out the bin Ladens and al Qaedas along the Pakistani/Afghan border.

...

The shock therapy of decisive war will elevate the stock market by a couple-thousand points. We will know that our businesses will stay open, that our families will be safe, and that our future will be unlimited. The world will be righted in this life-and-death struggle to preserve our values and our civilization. But to do all this, we must act.
