Ok Ron, we're never going to agree, but you know I have to put my 2 cents in
I agree that spending is totally out of control, corporate welfare and pork barrel bullshit suck up more of our money than I even care to think about.
So why doesn't Dubya propose spending cuts in conjunction with the tax cuts for a balanced budget?
The original budget he sent to congress already had a record deficit projection, and that was without the bill for the war in Iraq.
His original tax cut proposal this time around was for 726 Billion dollars, and he just wanted to tack that onto the deficit without cutting spending.
The Reagan tax cut isn't what got us out of the recession, the end of the oil embargo along with a massive increase in military spending got us out of that recession. (military spending=jobs for those of you keeping score at home, defense contractors employ lots of people)
Tax cuts DO have something to do with the debt. If you take in less revenue, OR increase spending, you go into the red.
That's simple math that even your click counter software couldn't fuck up.
