Supply side economics are used as a massive deception. I have wholeheartedly agreed with that position since before voting against Reagan in 1980. I think all your research is good. Our disagreement is not about whether or not we should shift focus, but just how we should go about it.

Yesterday at work I listened to the latest podcast of PBS Now. Robert Kuttner, author of the new book "Obama's Challenge" was a guest. He spoke at some length about how to implement the economic recovery and specifically stated that the Bush tax cuts need to be left alone until the economy picks up. He did not go into great detail, but he might in the book. This guy is co-founder of the magazine "The American Prospect" and is not a supply sider at all, but a real progressive.

I'm sure we'll all learn more about this in the coming weeks, months, and years.
