• Economists agree that the one factor that remained strong during the economic slowdown has been consumer spending, which has been buoyed by the rebate checks and personal income tax rates in the Bush tax cut plan.
The Washington Post acknowledged the direct correlation between strong consumer spending and the Bush tax cut, saying, “One reason consumers have been able to increase their spending is that their incomes have resumed rising…after-tax or “disposable” personal income rose 1.6 percent in January in part because of the tax-cutting legislation enacted last year.” (The Washington Post, Saturday, March 2, 2002)
