A tax cut now, without corresponding spending cuts, is no different than going out any running up your credit card to buy something you can't afford. The bill eventually comes due. I wish there were some way to show you this isn't so. Tax cuts are not a debtor's gimme, they are a plan to stimulate the economy, get more money into the people's and businesses' hands and therefore, make the country stronger. When that happens, spending cuts can find room -- in the minds of Congress members, the American people, and the economy, to be implemented.

All you have to do is LOOK at how much we pay out in taxes for Groceries, Gasoline, Automobiles, Books, Clothes, etc and KNOW that what Bush says is true: The more people keep in their own pockets the more will come in REVENUE taxes alone! PERIOD! I wasn't a math major but I get it...

Now the house has less to spend on pork. They'll have to work with less- Tax payers get to keep more. That's a good thing.
