tax cuts are just another form of spending the surplus. true some of it will come back to the government but until we pay down the debt everything the government spends, on tax cuts or programs is on the big credit card. the tax cut scheme also assumes that we have 10 more years of surpluses. judging from the market lately we know how wishful that might be. in which case what are our priorities? SS, Medicare, Education, Environment, Defence on Gore's side. (yes he spends more on defence in his plan than Bush does) And tax-cuts for Bush. (and yes of course half of it goes to the richest 1% which Bush cannot deny). The single most important reason for Clinton's 8 years of prosperity was following Rubin's advice to start paying off the national debt. That led to lower interest rates, market boom, etc. etc. Also the emergence of the internet (America's newest big dominant industry) which was indeed championed by Gore before anyone else in congress. Ironically conservatives are far-less fiscally conservative than so-called liberals. That might surprise some.
