When it comes to economics I'm a realist, it's one of the few things the politicians can't spin on me.
This is one of my favorite sources:

This latest jobs upswing, like the economy in general, is a short term rise. However, I will say that I don't think we would be doing as well as we are if it weren't for the tax breaks. But this too is short term and we will pay for these tax cuts for a very very long time, if they don't absolutely ruin, due to the tremendous debt, our economy.
