I would like to respond to Alta Bailey (Readers' Forum, Aug. 22), whose letter states that tax cuts stimulate the economy whereas government spending does not. At the beginning of his term, Bill Clinton raised taxes. Over the eight years of his presidency, the economy grew by 35 percent. At the beginning of his presidency, George W. Bush cut taxes. Over the eight years of his presidency, the economy grew by 15 percent.

Draw your own conclusions.
