For projects that will stimulate the economy. They will form commissions. They will pump money into economic development agencies. They will meet with business leaders and stress how government is committed to stimulating growth. Committed my foot.
Committed politicians get the damned taxes cut and then get out of the way.
Committed politicians know that all the commissions and committees and plans and government projects cannot hold a candle to tax cuts. They know the most direct route to growth and prosperity is the route of lower taxes. Lower the taxes and the rest will take care of itself. We have advised various countries to cut their taxes. When they did, they prospered.
