If tax cuts are good, why are we borrowing money to finance the government???

That's the way government has always worked. Federal borrowing is part and parcel of gov't finance. So far we've survived.

Feel free to give the government as much of YOUR money as you like.

I have better uses for mine.

Good point...I too am concerned about the size of the deficit and the size of the national debt 6.4Trillion dollars and counting...nobody even talks about the debt anymore.

I also am very tired of the class-warfar arguements that the democrats are making, but even though a lot more than just the top 1% have money in the market, I think the democrats have a decent chance of making a convincing arguement this time around(as tired as it is).

How long will it be before the point out that people like dennis kozlowski, jeff skiling, bernie ebbers, jack grubman, ken lay and gary winnick (all in the top 1%) are the "type" of people that would benefit the most from Bush's tax cut plan?...i can see the commecial now "here are the faces of the people that *screwed* the average investor out of trillions of dollars during the nineties...and here are the faces of the people that will be rewarded with bushes tax cut...(same picture on the screen)

If democrats propose a cap or phase out at certain income levels (i.e. after 500K AGI) of most of the bush provisions, I would bet better than even money that is what eventually passes...or else republicans will pay for it come november 2004.

Do not be worried with deficit spending. Deficit spending kinda works as one of our goverment checks and balances and is good for you the taxpayer. If the politicians have monies available they will spend it all plus some, if there is a deficit they will only spend some. In example: If one billion dollars are available to the politicians then they think nothing of spending two billion, but if there is a deficit they would be happy spending 500 million. So by increasing the deficit by 500 million you have saved 1.5 billion in taxes. Politicians will spend more than is available. Running a high deficit makes it harder for them to do.

Because taxes are too high. Talking about lowering them, doesn't lower them. Let's do it and you'll see.

Because the money saved on the taxes will be lent to the government on interest. Sound business strategy!

If wages are good, why would you borrow money to finance your car, house, boat etc.?
