There is no way to change the minds of true believers.

For several hundred years the American economy has grown and produced jobs. So what else is new? The only thing new is that after 30 years of cutting taxes, during the entire time, wages and job creation are below trend. Just as bad is that profits are as low as any time in history as well. Which of course makes bussiness think first of cutting jobs and wages.

At any rate assiging a causal relationship between short term job growth and long term tax cuts is logically absurd. No matter, true believers have no use for thought.

Ideology is the enemy of thought or understanding.
