Cynthia Tucker, 100 percent predictable Democratic apologist producing copy for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, approves of David Stockman’s weekend tua culpa on tax cuts. The piece is headlined: A few Republicans remember how to count. She writes:

More and more conservatives, including some who worked on in Republican administrations, are publicly pointing the finger at a combination of spending — under both Democratic and Republican presidents — and tax cuts — under George W. Bush — as the double-whammy that produced an ocean of red ink. . . . The vast majority of Republicans on Capitol Hill, however, continue to hope that Americans are laboring under a delusion that has caused them to forget how to count. Or to forget recent history. If tax cuts caused revenues to increase, how is it that Bush’s tenure turned Clinton’s surplus into a deficit?

Let me help you out with that final question:

Cynthia Tucker has done a very fine job making the case against irresponsibly cutting taxes while leaving spending untouched. Now, repeat after me: “We cut taxes! We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families! We cut taxes for small businesses! We cut taxes for first-time homebuyers! We cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children! We cut taxes for 8 million Americans paying for college!”

Thoughts, Ms. Tucker?

Remember when Barack Obama was talking about eliminating the capital-gains tax for small businesses? Whatever happened to that guy?
