Doubling Down on W

Maybe I've missed something, but in the past year, whenever I've heard liberals/moderates mention George W. Bush, it seems like they're ruefully pining for the "good ol' days" of his presidency (which is somewhat understandable given the lunacy of 45).

But with Republicans poised to pass their horrendous tax plan, are any libs/mods bringing up what happened when Bush tried this same thing?

Have we already forgotten that his tax cuts contributed to the biggest recession since the Great Depression?

Remember, W inherited a surplus, and his tax cuts (along with two wars and a Medicare expansion) tanked the economy to the point that it took Obama 8 years to right our economic ship.

Are we really on the verge of doing this again?
