In theory yes. The problem is- it may act more like a caffeine jolt, than it would a carb meal for an athlete. Republicans have promoted the "Trickle Down" economics concept since Reagan. I'm still waiting for the tide to lift this boat.

No. In troubled times, a tax cut will go to pay off debts and stuffed into savings (in case things get worse). This is the paradox of thrift. It's great for the individual, but sucks for the economy. Ultimately, a tax cut is no stimulus at all.
