haha. this is not my metric. you brought up how we are spending less.
we spend dollars. we don't spend gdp. we spend dollars. say that as many times as your retarded brain requires to let it sink in
Lowest unemployment since the moon landing.

And why are savings rates down? Because taxes were cut.
Before taxes were cut, the savings rate was at its highest levels EVER, according to the data you shared.
So now you want me to explain how the economy works?
Will you pay me for teaching you things you could just go and learn yourself?
I never said that at all.
So once again, you are having to imagine a conversation in your head because you're a zealot who doesn't want to deal with anything that takes a shot at your ego.
LMAO!
If you didn't want to discuss things in terms of %-of-GDP, then why did you link to a source that focused on that measurement?
You misread the data and then formed a hasty conclusion due to your compulsion to never shutting the fuck up.
rates are not done in a free market. they are policy based. They are down because those people in Smokey back rooms said they will go down. period. You can pretend to know why they did it, but you were not in those smoky back rooms with the fat cats. you are just one of the poor peons that make decisions based on their control of the lever
that chart is useful we know what gdp is - and that chart shows any non retard that spending did not go down as you tried to lie about
The personal savings rate was at its highest when the top tax rate was 90%.
And you mentioned before how everyone is just spending and borrowing and not saving but the central thesis of your tax cutting argument is that "letting you keep more of what you earned" will result in increased economic activity...because if you're arguing for saving and only saving, then you can't also argue that tax cuts will trickle down in any form.
Zealot.
Yeah, and since we know what GDP is, education spending couldn't be "skyrocketing" if it's the same percentage of GDP as it was 50 years ago.
"Skyrocketing" would indicate a larger share of GDP because of increased spending...but so far, all you've been able to prove is that education spending has grown at or below the same rates as the economy for the last 50 years.
WTF. do you think it is a light switch. instant changes happen? you are too dumb to continue these discussions
we will just call it the margin of error.
The problem you constantly run into here is that your conventional wisdom is fucked because it doesn't align with the empirical data.
As it stands, the only thing that supports your theory about tax cuts is that you really, really want it to be true.
is it in the margin of error
The reason you're having these little outbursts is because you know your argument is fucked since you have no data to support your theory on tax cuts.
the problem is you are so retarded you will not understand basic math and say stuff like this is "in the margin of error"
remember that? Graduation rates are dropping and you said it is within the margin of error
and now you are doing it again. so stupid, I get a good chuckle.
no, it is because you are laughably retarded
you could laugh with me, but you don't. So I laugh at you, not with you
Nope...it's just you being a dipshit moron.
You change topics, you fling half-assed and stolen insults, and you refuse to accept the reality that your instincts and judgment are completely fucked.
I remember you saying that cutting taxes leads to increased savings except all the data says otherwise.
