Tax cuts work only if there's a corresponding decrease in government spending too.
True, but give us the tax cuts anyways. We taxpayers can use it.
They should have rammed home a spending reduction before walking out the door.
"The Senator's right. What good are tax cuts if it's going to get swallowed up by spending anyway?
Tax cuts work only if there's a corresponding decrease in government spending too."
bump to those sentiments
All Tax cuts are good because of one simple reason they roll back the baseline of economic repression by a government that already and they tighten the noose on spending and eventually the that noose will choke off the beastly tentacle of government reach or cause a conflagration that will force hard decisions to be made. The spending problem is real but it can be addressed with economic growth and a role back of the many bloated federal agencies. (Not that we will see that happen anytime soon) One critical failure of the Bush Administration is that in trying to capture Democrat issues by redirecting spending they have grown government reach in the name of compassion which they have received absolutely no credit for. One can not out spend a socialist who sees no logical limit to spending or government acquisition and redistribution of wealth.
The government is a liberal's Jesus Christ. It is the their way to salvation and the correction of a world they see as being indifferent to the promotion of sexual diversity, population control, abdication of basic laws of nature, economic redistribution, and the goal of achievement of environmental stasis. It is through this liberal hope that mankind can step down and sit beside his chimpanzee brothers while politburos of the more enlightened direct the extinction of man and progress. (Thankfully before this happens they will all be killed by men who don't care about their political sensibilities.)
That said I believe that raising taxes has become almost impossible on a federal level and I see a long overdue correction that will result in a final collision between spending and revenue. It will be at this time that many of the great corpses of economic liberalism will become ripe with stench and reach their final logical conclusion and the pyramid of parasitism will collapse and will have to be buried for this nation to survive. The alternative is a path not unlike what has occurred with all the other previously "great" nations of the world, a path that leads progressively downward.
The one thing that all those who wait eagerly for the US to fall assuming they will capture the ghost of prosperity as it passes is that those socialist centers that thrive on the backs of US productivity will fall also. This is what the Islamists see as the goal. The US is the fulcrum of the economic world and with the productivity gap with the rest of the world widening the fall will be a Tsunami that sweeps away all the modern naivetés that makes the socialist dreams(pyramid schemes)a possibility.
"Tax cuts work only if there's a corresponding decrease in government spending too."
You quite possibly are the winner of the biggest understatement in 12 years of Republican Senate/House rule!
Tax cuts work only if there's a corresponding decrease in government spending too.
Not to worry now because the RATS will stop those pesky tax cuts but at the same time they will spend a whole bunch more than the Republican controlled Congress. Get ready for TAX INCREASES WITHOUT SPENDING CUTS!
