I'm an old coot. I recall Reagan's campaign promise and I predicted that meeting all three goals would be impossible. At the time we chuckled about the approrpriatness of calling supply side the "Laffer" curve. I also remember his Presidency: He had one glorious success and many, many failures. He f*cked the Federal budget for years to come. I also recall his "tax reforms" which led to an INCREASE in tax on working folks... no surprise there! I'm sorry you were too stupid to see what was going on at the time. And I'm even sorrier to see that you haven't learned anything since.

So show me where I'm factually wrong.

BTW, as far as Reagan is concerned, I could nevr get past the Laffer Curve, and Reagan's promise to (1) cut taxes (2) increase military spending and (3) balance the budget. As Reagan's budget director David Stockman confided, the supply-side rhetoric "was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate."

WHOO HOOO!!!!!! Well he managed two of three (as I predicted) but also created the largest deficit in history - only to be overtaken by GWB. heh heh heh.

The Laffer curve has nothing to do with two of the three items you mentioned. The fact that some have misused the curve and you have latched on to their definition doesn't make the curve wrong, just means you and others don't understand it. The issue you fail to deal with is revenues. How do you explain away the fact that it is possible to cut taxes and increase revenues by doing so.
