There is also a demand-side effect to tax cuts, which means that any boost to the economy might not be a result of supply effects but simply of people spending their increased take-home pay (that is, demanding more goods).In any event, conservatives accused liberals of being single-mindedly obsessed with demand, when in fact liberals were perfectly willing to follow the evidence to either the demand- or supply-side policies that would help the economy.It was in fact the conservatives who were… [read post]
