exploding to $146 billion from 2010 through 2019.

Per year of for the whole period?

If its the whole period I hardly think it reasonable to say that they have a "high cost".

I wouldn't even use the word "cost" at all with tax cuts. The costs are what the government spends. Taxes aren't the costs but how the costs are covered.

BTW - Is this tax cut you are talking about a change in the alternate minimum tax? If so it isn't a new tax break that Bush Jr. is giving the rich but rather the removal of a special tax penalty against them. Of course that penalty was put in place to keep them from taking advantage of too many other breaks. I'd just as soon see a lot of the deductions removed so that the alternate minimum tax (and its removalor reform) would have minimum effect, but only in exchange for lower rates.
