[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 674611, member: 22662"] Exactly where is it that I even hinted that the tax cuts were "evil"? And where in my statement did I infer "tax cuts for the rich"? My point is that politicians of all stripes spend outside their budgets or in the case of the Bush team simply leave little things like spending on 2 wars "off the books". And I believe the tax cuts were left in place for two reasons: 1. part of the stimulus mindset, and 2. letting them expire is politically easier. Now your turn. If the tax cuts were so good, how did the country end up in a financial meltdown at the beginning of the Obama administration? The Republican wisdom seem to be that tax cuts spur economic growth, so what happened? Why did we have huge deficit spending even not including war spending? 10% unemployment? Institute the draft/civil service corp and make service mandatory for some age groups like in Israel. Then stop extending unemployment benefits. Problem solved. [/QUOTE]
