re: Costs (or in this case a reduction in income) are relative to wealth or income. $146 bil over a decade is a low cost for our nation. It may be a bad idea or a good idea but the fact that (at least with static analysis) it reduces income by $146bil doesn't make it a bad idea, or a fiscal disaster.

The fiscal disaster already exists, and it's exists because of all the "low cost" $146,000,000,000.00 increments. Adding $146,000,000,000.00 to the disaster is a disaster.

re: High spending offends me. Lowered taxes do not. I would oppose extreme tax cuts for practical fiscal reasons, but they wouldn't offend me, and $146bil over 10 years isn't an extreme tax cut.

Well extreme debt offends me.
