As the GOP prepares for tax cuts, what is final number for how much the Bush tax cuts cost?

Back in 2007 or so it was a big talking point of how much those tax cuts grew the debt. Is there anyone that crunched the final numbers? For the party that is always against growing the debt, they sure grow it a lot.

No he's a troll.
And based on the number of people responding to him, he's probably the most successful troll on Anandtech.

Taj wears willful ignorance like an enormous beer gut and likes to swagger around to let the world see his manly pride.

Right - because why would you want to be an informed citizen. Or for that matter an informed troll?

Meh, they are a partisan think tank, I can understand why someone would think twice before accepting what they say. The thing is of course he has no problem with taking the conclusions of far more partisan actors at face value.

He’s a hypocrite but it’s not like he ever made much of a secret as to how dishonest he was. It’s just part of whatever character he plays on here.
