New It's impossible for tax cuts to create jobs.
Democracy in America column at the Economist - http://www.economist...us_and_jobs_bills

SEE what you think of this argument: it's impossible for tax cuts to create jobs. When the government cuts taxes, it simply has to borrow more money to cover its spending. This sucks money out of capital markets, which means financial institutions have less money to lend to businesses. That means businesses can't start up or expand. Whatever jobs are created by tax cuts, an equal number will be destroyed by increased borrowing; all the government is doing when it cuts taxes is taking money from one place and giving it to another.

That money in the capitol markets being loaned to businesses is the only way to create jobs. Umm ... no.

You keep using that word, but I do not think that it means what you think it does.
