Video of FAREED'S TAKE: CNN's Fareed Zakaria says the easiest way to cut the deficit is to let the Bush tax cuts expire.

[Son House]

Looks like he's got the potential to be a Democrat economist.

[Enterprise]

I wish they would let CNN expire.

[cranked]

Deficit reduction? Riiiight, especially given the spending frenzy of the Dems of late?! Another libtard idiot stuck on stupid.

[2ndDivisionVet]

As if they’ll use that revenue to pay down the deficit! Hahahahaha!!

While putting an extra 10 million out of work....

[silverleaf]

Surely if you raise taxes the govt collects more money- right?

[Carley]

Greenspan stated on MTP that tax cuts do not pay for themselves.

So the table is set. Raise taxes, punish the rich, it’ll make the poor feel sooo much better.

Fargin Maroons!

[fantom]

I am sure where this genius comes from , they are the beacon of economic brilliance .

[Scott from the Left Coast]

it’ll make the poor feel sooo much better.

Well, if misery loves company, it will, because there's going to be so very many poor if they kill what's left of the economy this way.

[Sacajaweau]

The Dems are playing this for the fall election.

They will renew ALL the Bush taxcuts with no changes but likely no vote until mid October.

They're just gonna have to ka their voters until November.

[Son House]

the easiest way for Democrats to cut the deficit short term is to let the Bush tax cuts expire, raise all tax rates to 100%, ect, ect, ect...

[Erik Latranyi]

If you raise prices, you sell the same number of items, you just make more money, right?!

[Son House]

Fareed’s right in line with Pelosi on more unemployment checks will boost the economy, of course spending someone else’s money is fun till it’s gone...

From the same person who authored The Post-American World.

Looks like he's got the potential to be a Democrat economist.

Or an economic jihad. This guy is the author of "The Post-American World"...a tome seen in the possession of Obama.

[Son House]

As the Democrat Majority Congress further erodes the economy(since 2007, Mr Fareed), the tax revenues collected as a percentage of the GDP have declined to around 15% where historically they’ve been about 18%, any idea on that?

[Son House]

Bush tax cuts? No, Bush tax cuts brought in more tax revenue, look at the numbers, don’t ask a Democrat(or their economist), a shame you can get facts straight from a reliable source, and you’re doing news? Where’s the deficit coming from? Democrat legislator’s policies of more taxes and regulation on all business. Cause and effect.

[Personal Responsibility]

Yet another moron big government leftist statist who thinks tax cuts are spending. ITS NOT YOUR MONEY FAREED!

[dr_who]

This about sums up Fareed.
