Time to have the debate

"Supply side" and "trickle down" are tossed about by conservative politicians as if they were engraved in the Ten Commandments handed down by God.   And progressive economists have been saying it for years:
 it just doesn't work.

Now, the latest study by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service has found that, over the past 65 years, tax cuts for the rich have not led to economic growth and instead have led to income inequality in the U. S.

So now, how will Republicans deal with this authoritative source that has done an actual study of the effects?

They will say that the study is wrong.  And what evidence will they offer?   None.

Why do people keep believing them?
