      this feels like a game of “one of these things does not look like the others “. The tax cuts empirically have shown no long-term ROI, after a short term boost many of them show negative ROI. The G.I. Bill in contrast had an ROI of (conservatively) 20x.

      The only number i know offhand is that total lifetime TARP spending after all the loans were repaid and all the profits from the assets the government purchased were realized was about $31B they use „real“ dollars in this chart but i would absolutely not trust chatgpt to account for inflation as the money came in for each year.

      Either way though there’s basically no way inflation over 17 resulted in $443B costing $640B in real dollars despite a $412B DIRECT return over 15 years, obviously not counting the indirect return of the entire economy not collapsing.

    3. Another pattern:

      ERTA: Republican president

      Bush tax cuts: Republican president

      TARP: Republican president

      TCJA: Republican president

      CARES: Republican president

      2025 Tax Bill: Republican president

      I still cannot fathom how Republicans are seen as fiscally responsible by their own voters.

      I think this is the kind of information we need to see make national news. We all know it, but we need the graphs and data to show it.
