The entire financial fiasco is due to the fact that Congress has not renewed the Bush tax cuts. In fact, there would be a signal amelioration of just about everything if we were to increase those same tax cuts. I am serious. I hear guffaws and hoots from the peanut gallery, but listen: I do not think we have actually given this trickle-down thing a realistic test drive. It has only been a quarter of a century since Reagan; i.e., since the Republicans had a leader with morals, brains, and charisma. He may also have had an odd economic theory, but we should really give it another quarter century.
