I’ve got 50 bucks that says Republicans are full of shit… any takers?

Today "economist" Art Laffer was all over the wingnutverse calling the contraction in the U.S. economy "catastrophic" and predicted that it would continue to shrink without "spending restraints and lower business tax rates." Are you fucking kidding me? People are still listening to this nut? Well, if you are listening, and buying any of Laffer's bullshit, I've got $50.00 bucks if you can prove that his "shrink the government and give tax breaks to businesses" nonsense has ever resulted in economic growth.
