every idiot who voted from more largesse, but voted "no" on tax cuts, will now suffer some pain when these cuts roll down to them

That did seem to me to be the root of it. If you want more spending then you have to pay more taxes, or not... but never both, not in the long run. Relying so heavily on a pro-cyclical tax (land/housing) also seems unwise to me.

I do hope that other than bigger classes you don't have to suffer...
