Those who criticise Palin for quitting the Governorship, should take a look at our Founding Father, George Washington.
He had NO desire to be President, and did so only because he was needed.
Others did the same with regard to service.
Palin realized that by staying she would harm her state, and left. If she was power mad, she would have hung on like the Democrats do...to the bitter end.
However, she chose to leave on a positive note, and has done a LOT to help the conservative cause.
In hindsight, her departure was a brilliant move.

So much for your knowledge on economic matters, or deficits.
You really shouldn't be lecturing others until you read this:

You should look up the word 'lecture'...(chuckle)

People forget that the Laffer Curve is a Bell Curve. Just cutting taxes to any old rate doesn't guarantee maximum revenues.
#27. To: Badeye, lucysmom (#24)
And then there's this, from the head of George W. Bush's council of economic advisors, Greg Mankiw (Economics Professor at Harvard)
--
I used the phrase "charlatans and cranks" in the first edition of my principles textbook to describe some of the economic advisers to Ronald Reagan, who told him that broad-based income tax cuts would have such large supply-side effects that the tax cuts would raise tax revenue. I did not find such a claim credible, based on the available evidence. I never have, and I still don't.

Yes, folks forget about the "curve" part of it.
If it were linear, then cutting income tax rates to say .00000001% should raise trillions in revenue.

As soon as I'm done finding "refudiate"
But here's a lecture for you from the guy who architected the Bush tax cuts:
http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2007/07/on-charlatons-and-cranks.html
My other work has remained consistent with this view. In a paper on dynamic scoring, written while I was working at the White House, Matthew Weinzierl and I estimated that a broad-based income tax cut (applying to both capital and labor income) would recoup only about a quarter of the lost revenue through supply-side growth effects. For a cut in capital income taxes, the feedback is larger--about 50 percent--but still well under 100 percent. A chapter on dynamic scoring in the 2004 Economic Report of the President says about the the same thing.

I know it takes a real dunce to cut income, increase deficit spending and claim growth will take care of debt.

I don't pay attention to those that require 'tenure' on such matters.

Bush's own economic team argued that the tax cuts would recoup 25% of the cost of income tax cuts and 50% of the cost of capital gains tax cuts.
He seems to have missed that. If there's one thing I couldn't stand in graduate school it was a professor who came to class unprepared for his lecture.

Again, with each passing post you demonstrate your ignorance.
Nicholas Gregory "Greg" Mankiw (pronounced /mæKÈkjuÐ/) (born February 3, 1958) is an American macroeconomist. From 2003 to 2005, Mankiw was the chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisors. His publications are ranked among the most influential of the over 22,000 economists registered with RePEc.[1]
Now if you want to argue that you know more about tax policy and its effects then the former chairman of Bush's council of economic advisors, be my guest. We'll all have a nice laugh at your expense.

If not for the entire financial/economic system being undermined by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, plus (to be fair) the insane deficit spending by the Bush Whitehouse and then GOP controlled congress, it would have worked in my view.
All we've done SINCE is triple the deficit, and make America less hospitable to business, and via several pieces of legislation and Executive Orders destroyed existing jobs and company's...and it looks like entire industries.
Enough blame to go around.
But we aren't about to vote on Bush, or the idiots from the GOP that got their collective asses kicked in 2006 for fiscal stupidity. No matter how much the Left and this Administration wishes we were.

We need a renewal of McCarthyism.
He was right, and history has proven it.
We need to identify the Commies, and blackball them from having ANY kind of position of authority or policy making in this country for life.
There needs to also be an ongoing law enacted that anyone who joins any communist/socialist group, or attests to the concepts of Marxism be added to that list.
