"They identified 91 episodes since 1970 in which policy moved to stimulate the economy.

They then compared the policy interventions that succeeded — that is, those that were actually followed by robust growth — with those that failed.

The results are striking.

Successful stimulus relies almost entirely on cuts in business and income taxes.

Failed stimulus relies mostly on increases in government spending."

This is a HUGE statement for the NY Times to make. I cannot believe that it was published there.

Wow coming from a failed newspaper, I am surprised. Maybe just maybe someone realizes how bad off the country is.
