McCain cannot be President. He voted against Bush's tax cuts, which

But they weren't tax Cuts -- they were Tax Deferrals.

Dubya borrowed from the future to pay the costs of the present.

You merely bought into the short-term illusion.

Is that why revenues have gone up faster than inflation since the tax
cuts? Actually they accelerated for the first couple of years. The only
thing going up faster than rev is spending. Cause, I'd like you to meet
effect.

They still were Not tax cuts, were they?

And the deficit still continues to climb -- at near record pace.

Eventually the bill will have to be paid, and that will mean taxing
More than spending.

Since Dubya and the Rs had no apparent need to cut spending when they
were in power for six full years, where should the responsibility to
do so reside?

The best means of cutting through the noise is to ask a simple
question:

Which federal expenditures that You support would you like to see cut
or eliminated? Be specific.

NB: It is Not appropriate to recommend cuts in expenditures that
Someone Else supports that you do not. Turnabout and all - they can't
cut Your preferred expenditures either when they make suggestions for
spending cuts.

So, have at it.

Defense department, i.e. military industrial complex. The US presently
spends 40% of the world's military expenditures.
