Re: [tax *decreases*] "Both false"

Hundreds of Billions in tax DECREASES have been signed into law by President Obama. (Greatly outweighing any increases.)

Re: [Bush tax cuts... the fact that they were written into law with a sunset provision is entirely the Bush teams idea.] "The Bush team, and the Republicans in congress, would mostly have preferred to not have the sunset provision."

I don't give a purple damn about anything wishy-washy like their 'feeling' or 'what they might have really preferred to do in some imaginary perfect world'.

I care FAR MORE about what they ACTUALLY DID IN REALITY.

What President Bush SIGNED INTO LAW.

(He made the political decision to push for only *temporary tax changes* that would SUNSET. He did that so the DEFICIT PROJECTIONS would appear lower because he could claim that that tax revenue would COME BACK after ten years.)
