Michael,

The tax cut isn't a program. The money isn't the governments to begin with.

It is your money. If it is worth thousands of dollars a year to you to uphold your philisophical viewpoint, that is your problem.

I have other things I would rather spend my money on.

Michael,

How much would you like to gut the military budget further?

More slimy rhetoric. In 1991, George Bush Sr. recognized that the cold war was over, and that the rate of increase in military spending was excessive. He cut back growth in military spending to only semi-obscene levels.

How would you cut social security? Be specific now.

I'd start by cutting out your benefits.

Worse than that. 1.35 trillion ( over ten years. Why don't they multiply new spending by 10?) is only a small fraction of the over tax. Every buck of the over tax not returned IS A NEW TAX.

Spending's going up over 5% in the new budget. That's a 5% tax increase right there - how it's financed is a mere detail.

So, for all intensive purposes, you now want to raise taxes by 1.35 trillion dollars, since the Bush tax-cut is already a done deal.
