Were you aware that during the 2nd world war, our deficit was 100% of our GDP. I'm not sure what it is today, but I do know it's not even a hair's breath near that.

Take your TAX PLAN and take a hike! Raising taxes is exactly THE TOTAL OPPOSITE of what should be done. Even JFK knew that when he called for tax cuts. We need to make the tax cuts permanent.

Nowhere can you find me advocating higher taxes. I made an observation that eventually something has to give, and higher taxes is one of the "somethings". If you want to do battle over my position, at least make sure you know what it is. Your desire for making the tax cuts permanent (a point of view I agree with, by the way) would be better served by taking all that energy and aggravation and writing to your members of congress, urging them to get the spending under control. That's what I've been doing.

Of course WWII ended.

Do you see any end to the growth of behemoth govt?
