Mav and others

A general question:

The tax cut W proposed during the election was touted as appropriate to an expanding economy.

Now the same tax cut is proclaimed as being a cure for the recession.

Which is it? And how does a tax cut whose main impact won't be felt for 5-6 years, help today's economy.

Repuiblicans (and not just MAV), claim the recession has really been happening since July of 2000. If so, why would W propose a tax cut and claim the economy was expanding?

Inquiring minds want to know

Alex,

Thanks for the detailed response.

Regards

John
