they are working out exactly as intended. It's the same way they have always worked out. Supply side economics is total bs. Companies expand when there is an increase in demand. Of course, our 6 time bankruptcy expert of a president shouldn't be expected to know that.

It's one of those fine distinctions that the highly-paid political commentators can never quite figure out. Oh sure, they can see in a heartbeat how a person paying health insurance premiums is directly paying for someone else's abortion because it's a covered event in the insurance plan. But how can they possibly figure out the difference between what the Republican barkers claimed their tax cut would do and what it actually has done? And then you want to go a whole 'nother step and say the actual results were what the Republicans wanted all along, because that's how their tax cuts work every single time? Oooh, you're hurting poor chucktodd's head!

If he can't appeal to right wing wallets he can always rely on racism to keep their support.
