Oh, I don't know, everyone who knows the slightest thing about economics that knows supply-side is made up nonsense.
I personally predicted that this would be a net negative for the economy & I felt validated to see experts like Krugmann & Reich saying the same thing.
I don't recall that i thought it would have a direct negative effect on employment, just dollars & cents.
But, this doesn't surprise me in the least.
