Spell check's not perfect!
There's a difference between mispelling a word and trying to make one up. Perhaps you need a refersher course in t3h 3ngl1sh.

Do you EVER have any thing good to say, all you seem to really do around here is FLAME people!

OK, then lets define works as: noticeably improves economic conditions. Every time taxes are cut to improve economic conditions, economic conditions are improved.
I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. In fact I would wholly disagree with it. At least, from the definition of a "tax-cut" these days, which is more of an enlarged rebate than a true tax cut. It often takes multiple cuts to get the desired affect, and it's virtually impossible to connect the cause with the effect.
The huge tax cuts under Kennedy, Johnson, and Ford had absolutely no measurable economic impact. In fact, the problems that arose with the poor fiscal policy were considered substantially more harmful than any benefit that could have potentially arose from the tax cut.
Fact of the matter is, taxes are generally cut when the economy has faltered considerably. And, considering the cyclical nature of the economy, it's virtually impossible to determine if the tax cuts are indeed the cause of the increase in economic conditions. It's just as, perhaps even more, likely that the business cycle would have gone up no matter what was done. The fact that it often takes multiple cuts to have any effect whatsoever is further evidence of this. We're pretty much just along for the ride.
That logic that tax cuts cause economic rebounds is about as sound as "Clinton was responsible for the Tech Boom".
I'm not trying to justify high tax rates or anything. As a libertarian (at least from the tax policy perspective) I would rather most didn't exist. I just have a severe dislike for these Keynesian tax cuts that are used more to placate constituents than actually effect the economy. If you want to really cut taxes, practice supply-side tax cuts, not Keynesian.

I don't really have anything to add to the particulars of this thread...only that Gerald Ford is on Larry King and he looks GREAT to be 90! AMAZING!

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Are people really still this angry at the success of Clinton's terms?!?!?! I'm amazed that people can hold a grudge for so long. 
Instead of naming all the great things Clinton did for this country, I'll say one thing that no one can deny, whether you are a Liberal, Conservative, or Other. Never in a president's term has the country been so divided within itself, and we owe that to W.

I don't think it matters what clinton did during his presidency when it comes to the issue at hand. He didn't have anything to do with Reagan, so why should he speak at his funeral? Also, as I already said, I think his moral wrong-doings should eliminate him from being able to speak at ANY public gathering. I'm amazed at how many people in the U.S. can overlook the PRESIDENT, leader of our country, doing something so wrong.
