It is also a good thing to remember, that even without the Bush tax cuts, we are way below historic tax levels.... what was the percentage post WWII? Was it higher than today (to pay for the War???)
I think its the first step. The legislation was pending, it had to be resolved. Next - lets cut spending. I think the tea party leaders were pretty vocal after 11/2 - repubs you're up, what are you gonna do? They better step up. I dont think they'll get free ride.
we had a budget surplus in this country under Clinton, not because of some brillaint budgetary moves, but teh country was cranking with the dot-com market. Lots of capital gains. We need to crank again. Only business can crank, government wanks. Government out of the way. Its the only solution I see.
