Quote of the day – tax cuts paying for themselves

This is from Alex Tabarrok:

Mark Thoma makes fun of Judd Gregg for thinking that tax cuts pay for themselves. Mark is right to make fun. What a ridiculous thing to believe. All the good economists know that it is spending increases that more than pay for themselves.

😀 . BTW, this is sarcasm – which is why it is awesome 😉

Also, apologises for the lack of substantial updating – I am extremely busy doing that “predicting things” stuff that I always say economists shouldn’t do
