Good lord.....it's like talking to a brick. I really hope you are 12 or 13. trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 10:28:44 PM
Let me summarize one last time and then I am done:

3 tax cuts, tax revenue increased all 3 times (hmmm, perhaps cutting taxes stimulates the economy, but then again, going 3 out of 3 may just be a coincidence.....:rolleyes: )

2006 case study, via CBO data/estimates:

2000 estimates vs. 2006 realities
Tax revenue was higher than expected, even after the tax cuts
Spending however was much, much higher than expected, which is what caused the deficit for that year. Understand?

Balancing our budget would be easy. ranagrande - 16/04/2011 06:46:32 PM 802 Views
Several of those aren't as easy as you make it sound, but the import tax is a big no-no. Legolas - 16/04/2011 07:34:30 PM 1018 Views

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 1273 Views
Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2011 08:25:26 PM 386 Views

Have you ever looked at those projections for a decade or two hence? Legolas - 16/04/2011 10:13:12 PM 900 Views
Yes I have Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 10:44:50 PM 1045 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 961 Views
Yes it's going out of control Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 11:17:59 PM 921 Views
Good, we agree on that much then. Legolas - 17/04/2011 09:59:17 AM 872 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 363 Views
Sorry, but that is a stupid opinion..... trzaska2000 - 16/04/2011 08:38:35 PM 868 Views
