"Surely Congress has the authority, and it would be right to -- if we decide we want to cut taxes to spur the economy, not to have to raise taxes in order to offset those costs. You do need to offset the cost of increased spending, and that's what Republicans object to. But you should never have to offset cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans." What's remarkable about Kyl's position here is that it appears to be philosophical. "You should never have to offset cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans," he said. Never! This is much crazier than anything you hear from Democrats. Imagine if some Democrat -- and a member of the Senate Democratic leadership, no less -- said that as a matter of principle, spending should never be offset. He'd be laughed out of the room. Back in the real world, tax cuts and spending increases have the exact same affect on the budget deficit. This sort of comment is how you tell people who care about the deficit apart from people who are interested in exploiting fears of the deficit to shrink the size of government. .... ] Â* Advanced math for teabaggers? Â* CAN Palin or Kyl even solve "1+1 = X" As you said, they would probably come up with 0 for very small values of 1. Is this Base 6, 8 or 10? Is it Binary? Yes. Â*And it still doesn't matter. 1 + 1 †’ 0, carry 1 (since 1 + 1 = 0 + 1 × 10 in binary) In binary 1 + 1 does display as 10. Â*But pay attention. Â*0 is never expressed as 10. -- -- Later, Darrell Well, if its a Boolean expression, then its a 2-input NAND gate.
