Make the Tax Cuts Work

New York Times
Jan 23, 2008
By Len Burman



In the article the writer discusses how the government says the solution to everything wrong with our economy can be solved by tax cuts. His big question is "How do we stimulate the economy to prevent or shorten a recession?" He then goes on to give about three different solutions and lists off the facts, good and bad, of both sides. I thought this was a very well written article. He gave facts to both sides of the arguement in a very well written and easy to understand format. He provides tons of information and it seems like some thought and research actually went into the article before he wrote it.

I like how you said that the writer gave opinions from both sides of the arguement. That shows that he is not for or against one side. It lets the reader make their own decision.

I'm not sure that ALL of our economic can be solved by one solution. But I am interested that this author's solution was tax cuts, I'd be very interested to read the article! It sounds like it could be very beneficial since a few different perspectives were examined.

I think that i would enjoy reading this article because it gives the pros and cons to multiple situations involving our economy. I think that it is important to provide opinions of bothe sides of the argument which the author has done. Although i agree with a cut in taxes i dont think that it is necessarily the answer to all our economic problems.
