>nstead of resorting to stupid word games. . .

You are either managing to confuse yourself brilliantly or are playing the Kallend "I didn't say ANYTHING that I said!" game.

Just trying to respond to what is actually written versus what some people magically infer. Trying to respond to loaded questions based on NOTHING like - "So now you are claiming that we did in fact drill in ANWR and there was only minimal environmental damage?" does get old.

In any case, have a good weekend.

You too.

That's because Federal tax revenues, after correction for inflation and population growth, have gone down since Bush was sworn in, Jan 2001.

Right you are perfesser - They went down in 2001, 2002 and I think in 2003. Every year since then, they've climbed... quite dramatically, I think.

I think 2006 revenues were about 20% higher than 2000 revenues. 2007 revenues are estimated to be 27% higher than 2000 revenues.

Let's not overlook the fact the 2000 was the top of a booming, "bubbling" economy. Definitely an historical era.

Some people think today's economy is in great shape too. They have even claimed as much on SC as evidence of how wonderful GWB's policies are. Gee, just this week someone was going on about how high the DOW is.

However you slice it, in year 6 of the Bush administration federal tax revenues, when CORRECTED into real comparable figures, are lower than during the last year of the Clinton administration. And accumulated real revenues this century are in bad shape compared to accumulated revenues during the 1990s.

Were people saying the economy was is great shape? Or were they just pointing out that the Dow was making new all-time highs (even after discounting for inflation) and you inferred they meant "the economy is in great shape"?

Where the hell are you getting these your numbers? I'm talking about actual revenues and whatever factors you're using for your "CORRECTED real compamparable figures"? How is year 7 of the Bush administration federal tax revenues shaping up?

Oh... you mean during the blowoff top of THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET IN HISTORY?

Tell me something, how many years after 1929 did it take for the federal revenues to surpass 1929 levels? How many years before the GDP make a new high?
