The benefit will be a boomin' economy! We had pretty good prosperity through most of the Bush years!

On MSNBC's "The Daily Rundown With Chuck Todd. Former MO Senator Jim Talent is apparently now a Romney fluffer, pictured with his hero, below.



Said that the biggest benefit of Romney's proposed tax cuts is that we will have a "BOOMIN' ECONOMY."

Todd replied "Wait a minute...that didn;t happen with the Bush Tax Cuts."

Talent replied "Well, we had pretty good prosperity through most of the Bush years!"

Aaaaaahh...REVISIONIST HISTORY.

We had the 99% keeping the economy afloat on credit because there was no increase in wages. It was a reverse Ponzi scheme.

and certainly not because of tax cuts. Good luck trying to see anybody EVER being held accountable for this glaring failure of their economic "policies". They just continue insist that we do this even though there is overwhelming evidence that it won't work.
