Here’s an interesting quoting of the footnotes in the White House’s review of the budget analysis we’re discussing here, from the Wall Street Journal blog:

Not if you read the fine print in the new White House midsession review of budget trends. “While difficult to estimate precisely,” Treasury long-run analyses of the effects of President Bush’s tax cuts “may ultimately” raise total national output of goods and services by 0.7%.

I should add that Bush evidently skipped the footnotes in the report and said:

And we encouraged economic expansion by cutting taxes on dividends and capital gains. Together, these tax cuts left nearly $1.1 trillion in the hands of American workers and families and small business owners, and they used this money to help fuel an economic resurgence that’s now in its 18th straight quarter of growth. The tax cuts we passed work.
