If this obligation puts added pressure on government to enact spending cuts elsewhere, terrific!

I don't see a reason to raise "other" taxes but the Democrats will, they always do. Higher revenues coming in with economic recovery will meet this obligation.

It was done to help prime the pump of the pathetic economic recovery.

Would you prefer it was never done?

I favor lower taxes and cutting spending, but this is simply an accounting gimmick. (Will I “take it” anyway? Sure.)
