Of course, these are the very same tax cuts that spurred economic expansion, created record job growth, and reduced the deficit as revenues flooded the Treasury.

When he says (and you repeat) that the Bush tax cuts created record job growth and reduced the deficit, how is anyone supposed to take anything that follows seriously? These are patently absurd statements. You have to go back no further than Clinton to see higher job growth and deficits skyrocketed after the tax cuts. At least “spurred economic expansion” is abstract enough that it can be argued (from both sides).
