Liberals never (1) worry about telling the truth (2) look back to see if their wondrous ideas and laws actually work (3) investigate the problem and options that will solve the problem (4) accept blame (5) say they are sorry.and (6) stop applying the same failed solution to a problem over and over again.

"...So 70% of the tax cuts did not even take place until Bush's second term....And remember how well the economy was growing in 2006?"

Bush's gift to the wealthy ""Job Creators"" was the halving of the Capital Gains rate, which took place in 2003, all at once AFAIK. And in 2006 the economy was on an unsustainable path, fueled by housing speculation.

"??? The tax cuts worked. Jobs were created..."

Rich Unger in Forbes shows that Job growth under Bush was comparatively dismal:

Further, in most months of the Obama presidency the public sector shrank, while both Bush's (and Clinton) expanded the size of Government to produce their job growth numbers:

Well, when I look back on the 2002-2003 tax cuts (purportedly to give the JobCreators funds to go create lots of jobs) and the results of the last decade, and then listen to the RightWIngNut chorus of deregulation and tax cuts to free the job creators to go create lots of jobs, I have to say that your (1) - (6) above apply quite nicely to Conservatives, too.

Maybe the truth is that People in general often behave like that, regardless of their politics.

??? The tax cuts worked. Jobs were created. The 'last decade' started going downhill when the chickens of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came home to roost and (in 2006) when Congress had a Democrat majority.

You apparently have forgotten that the tax cuts, which were passed in 2001, were forced by Senate Democrats to be back-end loaded. The first year "cut" (2002) was nothing but a small rebate to the middle class, which nobody, not even Democrats, believed would change anything. Then the 2003 cuts amounted to only 10% of the cuts, and the 2004 cuts amounted to only 20%. So 70% of the tax cuts did not even take place until Bush's second term.

And remember how well the economy was growing in 2006? and how much revenue we took in? Remember that the deficit in 2006 was only $170 billion?

The Bush tax cuts were so bad. LOL! What about when JFK did the same thing and had the same results we have each time we cut taxes.

The deficit was $248 billion in 2006.

Hey flamer, jump back into your pool of mistaken certainty!!!

The Left has caught the vapors or the fantods over a recent Bloomberg News article that suggested Jeep may move some of its manufacturing capacity to China.

From Bloomberg:

Fiat is in “very detailed conversations” with its Chinese partner, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. (2238), about making Jeeps in the world’s largest auto market, said Mike Manley, chief operating officer of Fiat and Chrysler in Asia. Chrysler hasn’t built Jeeps there since before Fiat took control in 2009.

“The volume opportunity for us is very significant,” Manley, who is also president of the Jeep brand, said in an interview...
