Sorry, but that is a stupid opinion..... trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 08:38:35 PM
The 3 large tax cuts since WWII.....JFK, Reagan, and GWB have one thing in common. After the cuts, tax revenue went up signficantly.

Explain?

Hint: spending is the problem, not the tax cuts. As in, even with increased tax revenue, DC spent so much that our deficit and debt still grew.

I also recommend watching IOUSA. Our unfunded liability is north of $60 trillion, mostly due to entitlements. Recent tax cuts compared to this is a drop in the bucket.

Funny you mentioned WWII and 1968. Can you put tax rates at these times as well? Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 07:50:09 PM 1071 Views
Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2011 08:25:26 PM 289 Views

Erm, and you think total health care spending is not getting out of control? I'm a little confused. Legolas - 16/04/2011 11:02:52 PM 736 Views
Yes it's going out of control Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 11:17:59 PM 674 Views
Good, we agree on that much then. Legolas - 17/04/2011 09:59:17 AM 666 Views
Exactly. Cutting back on fraud and waste doesn't really put much of a dent in those projections. *NM* Tom - 17/04/2011 02:31:13 AM 271 Views
