Bush's tax cuts did not increase the deficit. The President's tax cuts brought in more revenue, not less.

BS. What's your evidence?

However, his complete unwillingness to say no to any spending bill has certainly increased the deficit.

That too.

BTW, I support the Bush tax cuts. But don't delude yourself into thinking they increased revenue. That's pure nonsense. Tax cuts can increase revenue sometimes, but only when taxes are extremely high to begin with, over the 60% range. Prior to Bush, taxes were not even close to the point at which the Laffer curve starts to slope downward.

Otherwise, Clinton's tax increases would have caused a reduction in revenue, but revenues actually increased and wiped out the deficit within 4 years of passage.
