There are several fallacies here: Fallacy #1) "The tax cut was paid by borrowing money". Truth: Money was borrowed because spending exceeding income. Spending could have been cut to avoid additional borrowing, but the government chose not to do so. Fallacy #2) "I will eventually need to pay that money back". Truth: "I" am not the "federal government". "I" did not borrow anything.

Turn the question around. Do you think that you are personally WORSE OFF for having received the Bush tax cut? If so, then why don't you send the money back to the U.S. Treasury? I'm sure they would love to have it!
