From a Bloomberg story:

Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island have rejected cutting taxes while the government faces a budget deficit forecast to exceed $300 billion this year. Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine has opposed temporarily eliminating the dividend tax, calling it a ``gimmick.''

This "budget deficit" is 2 percent LESS than it was during Clinton's time.

Stabbed by the pseudos.
