I asked a question that wasn't framed in a manner that made you "feel" good.

You continue to insinuate your imaginary bogeyman into my position on taxes. How do you presume to do that? Do you always go around informing people what it is that they think about this or that?

The problem with the framing of your question had nothing to do with my view on the subject. The problem was that the question was inapt.

you can pretend you're engaged in an honest and open debate only if you're willing to let our children pay for what we spend.

So, the measure of one's openness and honesty is that he take a particular position? That is a total contradiction. Being open and honest means, instead, being receptive to the panoply of positions and to evaluate them objectively.

And being willing to let our children pay for what we spend is your preferred position? Hmmmm. Surely not.

Given a choice between tax cuts that create massive debt or tax increases that reduce the deficits and eventually the debt which do you prefer?
You did not address why "tax increases that reduce deficits" is the only alternative to "tax cuts that create massive debt." Or, conversely why "tax cuts that create massive debt" is the only alternative to "tax increases that reduce deficits." My judgment of false dichotomy still stands.
