Wrong. He said the tax cuts, to come on line in the future, will REDUCE THE 10 YEAR PROJECTED SURPLUS (which by the way is wrong anyway). This year's projected deficit is due entirely to the recession, not the tiny insignificant tax cuts so far implemented. He did say that the tax cuts were responsible for renewed budget deficits. Which is true by the way.

To argue about the effectiveness of the tax cuts regarding the recession is one thing, but to argue that the tax cuts caused the recession is quite absurd. * * *

Daschle is quoted as saying "There are those who say the reason the surplus deteriorated so quickly is the attacks on America and the war against terrorism, but Sept 11 and the war aren't the only reasons the surplus is nearly gone. They're not even the biggest reasons. The biggest reason is the tax cut." Even Diane Feinstein disagrees and said, "The impact of the tax cut has not been felt, so I don't think it worsens the recession at all. A bad economy is the lie that Daschle wants to run on.
