If people like you have your way, then your prediction will come true. Because we'll put a Kerry or Dean in the White House, who will indeed strive to raise our taxes. Spending was high before President Bush came into office, and he lowered taxes. It's higher now, but I can't see him raising taxes.

It's an easy call for the objective among us. (And yes, I have children.)

The doom and gloomers just can't fathom the idea that we will grow our way out of this deficit, pessimism run-a-muk around here with these .02%rs.

"It's higher now, but I can't see him raising taxes."

I agree but the point I'm trying to make is that somewhere down the line, in part due to his expansion of the Great Society, taxes WILL have to be raised thus erasing whatever tax cuts he's enacted. In all likelihood this won't have to be done during his administration, as I mentioned earlier it'll be the younger folks who'll will be forced to pay, but it WILL have to be done.
