Don't get me wrong, I like the tax cuts (even though I benefited little from it) but I don't see why it couldn't wait if we're "at war". Or at the very least, why it couldn't have been scaled down some.

You're wrong and you benefited from the tax cuts.

Very simple, tax cuts remove money from the leviathan and leave the money with those that earned it. That money is more efficiently used in the hands of the private sector.

In this case, the tax cuts were necessary to rectify the recessionary economy left to Bush by the tax increaser Clinton.

Tax Curtis can in the short term lead to deficits but in the long term they have an limiting effect on government.

The ideal world is tax cuts and reductions in spending. Bush is currently making an effort at part 2.

Finally, I would say this. I think you're on the wrong board.

Bush is trying to reduce spending? Oh I'm sorry that must have been what that gigantic Medicare boondoggle was about. Oh, and Mars.
