...and (mostly) boring article by Bruce Bartlett. He was one of the creators of supply-side economics and calls for its quiet burial here. The best part is near the end, where he says:
I really don't understand why conservatives insist on a one-size-fits-all economic policy consisting of more and bigger tax cuts no matter what the economic circumstances are; it's simply become dogma totally disconnected from reality.
I especially like that last phrase, "dogma totally disconnected from reality." The older I get, the more important I think it is to be wary of dogma. The universe is just too complicated.
