A
So that, that, that's the current predicament.
B
Yeah, it see, seems like it's, it's a kind of a Catch Twenty-two. I mean, it's, it's the, um, my understanding is what they're try, what, what supposedly they're trying to do by reducing taxes is to kind of jump start the economy, the idea being that if people have to pay less money in taxes, they'll have more money to spend, uh, and if they have more money to spend, then that will be a spur to productivity, particularly commercial productivity, uh, which in turn will generate revenue. But it, it seems like, like, uh, it's sort of a, uh, a sp-, an unending spiral, and it, it, it, uh, I'm, I'm not sure that there's any real genuine truth to the, uh, the idea that, that, uh, that decreasing taxes, particularly the kinds that are being recommended bye-bye the Bush administration and things like capital gains taxes and so forth is going to, uh, result in substantial amounts of money, you know, for consumers to spend. And, uh,
A
Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about paying on the quest, the long term quests that tax cuts are worth at this point. It's probably a judgment of how bad the recession is.
B
Yeah, it, uh, it would seem to me that there are other things that the administration could do.
A
Well, well, first of all you look to the Fed to fight the recession --
B
Uh-huh.
