The Bush tax cuts are smoke and mirrors. Receipts are because of the inflation tax. Duh!

You’ve got to be pretty stupid to think that inflation accounts for a 14.5% increase in federal tax receipts in 2006.
14.5%. That’s not inflation, genius.

Rob: When the numbers don’t agree with the leftie propaganda, they were obviously “fiddled”, don’t you know? No matter how wrong they are, lefties are never wrong, in their own opinion.

Progressivism 101:
Facts have no inherent validity. Those facts which support the desired outcome are of necessity true, while those which work against the desired outcome are of necessity untrue.
And from Progressivism there descended socialism and fascism, and modern liberalism; all with the same relationship to facts.

The fiddling of the numbers started with Kennedy, and Johnson took it to a whole new level. Both Democrats. Carter and Clinton both fiddled with the numbers as well. Both Democrats. Who did it worse and when is a waste of time. It happened and is happening. I don’t understand why the republicans are not more upset with this government tampering. These stats are important in making financial decisions and should be honestly and consistently reported; no matter of the political fallout. As long you apologize for it no matter where you stand in the political spectrum; it will continue to happen.
Over and Over again I read here the correct definition of recession. Where is the correct definition (math formula) for inflation? Why is it so critical to have an exact definition for one and not the other? They should both have exact definitions and be used accordingly.

Inflation and Inflation tax are different. If the government misreprents the inflation; the growth on investments is not real and you pay tax (inflation tax) on the BS capital gains.

Anyone else thinking Troy needs to go back to economics 101?

Troy, maybe there’s some work of a progressive economist (Paul Krugman?) that you could plagiarize in the comments here to make your point.
I mean, that’s what you usually do.

How much has our government borrowed so far?
How much has our national debt increased?
Now, if the above two figures decreased or remained unchanched, and tax revenues increased I would say bravo! But the numbers do not match, And your math does not add up.
