For the past 100+ years in the USA revenue has averaged 19 – 20% of GDP. The spending average has been a bit higher, 20 – 21%.
Right now spending is close to 24%, revenue is around 16%.
We need to increase revenue and decrease spending.
Tomorrow: peace in the middle east.
After you crack that peace thing, could you figure out why so many Americans protect 1% of the population (a minority), but have to be forced to give other minorities basic rights? Thanks – droll
joining that top 1%, even if the only “realistic” shot is winning power ball. Also, the cold war rhetoric that was so effective in scaring the public to the point that anything that referred to “the people” or “the general welfare” came to be seen as next door to communism, is still alive and well.
Reagan did a great job of pitting working Americans against one another and against mythic welfare Queens (small potatoes compared to the corporate Welfare Kings) and making the elite, screwing them, downsizing, out sourcing and, in general doing everything with their money but creating good jobs, the heroes.
Ever since, Dems have been too afraid of conservatives to stand up for their constituency and simply counted on the fact that their natural constituents have nowhere else to go since Rs are even worse for them. Sigh…
tax cuts = awesome.
Done and done. You’re welcome.
because Larry Laffer drew a parabola on a napkin once.
I think there was point where reducing taxes didn’t increase revenue. And I’m guessing we are past that point, especially for the wealthy. Correct?
The Laffer curve was made up and is complete bullshit.

If we cut taxes down to zero, then everyone will want to pay them! Simple!
Collect UnderpantsTax cuts + ??? = Profit!then nobody would ever work. That’s why the Chinese government never has any money.
Never has any of their OWN money. They have plenty of ours.
Thanks for the site. I like the part where the critic notes that if he had produced something like the Laffer curve, he’d been thrown out of college.

Garbled message but better than her airplane and kitchen ads. Mejia’s media consultant just threw a bunch of old photographs together and called it an ad. Get your money back James as the kids at East High could have done a similar ad for you.
Romer’s cupcake ad and the Hancock I never gave up spot are the two best.
I’m picking Romer in first place with 30% with Hancock at 20%.
Monday’s shilling is complete !
If you disagree on the analysis of the ads say so. I knocked the earlier Boigon ads but gave praise where it is due to her and Romer. It’d be good to hear what others think of the ad wars
nobody will think I am a Hancock shill. Its just the cover I need to throw them off the trail !
Sheer genius
He through the African immigrant cab drivers under the PUC bus for his campaign contributors.

I mean, really if they can do this in the last week of the season – and 20 or 30 times in between now and then – it’s something
I watched the video by New Era of the dude going to candidates’ cribs. Only Linkhart and Mejia aren’t living in opulence. All the others have homes more than 2000 sq ft. Linkhart and Mejia have right sized homes. Like most neighborhoods in Denver.
New study casts doubt on natural gas (via fracking) and Climate Change
In addition to Carly Madison’s passing, House Rep Daniel Kagan lost his mother, and labor leader Ed Knox lost his stepson, recently. May their memories always be a blessing. If you know either of these two fine gentleman, I know they would appreciate your condolences.
I meant Carla Madison.
Judge to copyright troll: your “business model” isn’t my problem
And “Ha, Ha!” Righthaven deserved every second of that ruling.
