Finally a poster with common sense! Since a recession will cause tax receipts to fall, a larger deficit can only be avoided by raising taxes. Of course this will mean that consumers will have less disposable income but would they have spent it wisely anyway? Opponents will claim it it unfair to try to discern what people would have done with the funds taken from them to avoid a deficit, but frankly any sincere person that could determine how a voter intended to vote could also determine how taxpayers would have spent their money.

When we have rampant inflation, a good cure might be lowering taxes and interest rates. This would bring things to a quick climax. Do you agree?
