A severe economic downturn will cause a deficit, not tax cuts. That's what the Carter recession did to the budget in the early 1980's. Tax cuts are what brought the economy back. Clinton-Gore left the economy with the highest tax burden in US history and the highest regulatory burden. We see that both are killers to the economy.

Joe, again it is such a pleasure to DISCUSS the issues with you. I agree that the death tax needs to kept in place. However, I do believe that the limits which were set more than twenty years ago need to be raised above the new $1M limit. I would say that in consideration of modern money a tax free limit at 2-3M would be appropriate. The taxes should remain intact for estates of greater value. This would assure redistribution of wealth which is good and allow a nice family sum to remain intact. The greatest wealthiest people in the US overwhelmingly agree with a proposal similar to what I just proposed.
