As the party has shrunk to its base, it has catered even more to its base's biases, insisting that the New Deal made the Depression worse, carbon emissions are fine for the environment and tax cuts actually boost revenues — even though the vast majority of historians, scientists and economists disagree.Are you sure about that?
The politics of carbon emissions is not my strong point I'm afraid, but I do have a working knowledge of the other two.
First of all George W. Bush's tax cuts led to soaring revenues. Second of all, the New Deal did prolong the Depression, an issue I have discussed at length.
Now I'm sure the "majority of historians, scientists and economists" at Time Magazine disagree with the Republican Party's stance on these issues, but it's somewhat misleading to claim that a "majority" disagree.
