Was there ever a point in history...
When a Nation was implementing Tax Cuts AND waging a war at the same time?

1. No
Even Nero was smart enough not to do THAT.

2. According to
Paul Krugman, no nation in history has every waged a costly war AND cut taxes at the same time. But these guys want to create there own reality.

5. Not that I'm aware of. But LBJ
did not raise taxes to pay for the war in Vietnam, and we were saddled with terrible inflation for a decade. Of course, Nixon didn't help matters when he instituted wage and price controls in 1970, but that's an entirely different issue.
