The tax increases by Bush Sr., the ones that started the move to a balanced budget?

No, we haven't gotten to those yet. They were rollbacks of the ones from the Clinton years.

The point is that he browbeat someone for being "disingenuous" in calling a "rollback" a "tax increase", claiming that they were really just a rollback of tax cuts, so they weren't really increases at all. In fact he was just as "disingenuous" as the person he was attacking. Where do you stop? Is it a rollback of the increase which was a rollback of the cuts, or is it an increase is the cut's that were rollbacks of the increases? The answer is, if you're liberal you use classic Clinton spin, which is what Donahue did. I'm only disappointed that his "guest" let him get away with it.
