I agree.

Just as living your life on credit cards doesn't make sense, neither does excessive debt carried by the government. Given that we are spending what we are on the war, you can't reduce that debt without gaining additional revenue by repealing parts of the tax cuts."

I agree.

The proportion of those who are underemployed has grown. The proportion without health care has grown. Bankrupticies have grown. Foreclosures are beginning to grow. And this isn't the investment class with these problems - it's the working middle class who are a trip to the doctor's away from being in serious trouble. This will have a cost, and it's better to avoid it rather than incur it."

I agree.

I don't agree with any of it, and/or it is grossly overstated. The numbers are wrong, and the delta function is wrong, for starters.
