Remember that the FICA rates also pop back up at the end of 2012 along with the ‘Bush tax cuts’ expiration. A major tax increase....just after the 2012 elections.

Yes, but if this country is lucky enough to have Palin sitting in the Oval Office in 2013, she'll begin dismantling federal agencies by executive order, one after the other. She'll cut the cost of government to the furthest reach of her executive powers.

Bet on it.
