>>And BTW, the last two Presidents to cut taxes this significantly were Kennedy and Reagan, and in neither instance did it cause a long term decline in revenues.<<

Partly true, however, Kennedy?johnson (while at war I might add) actually kept his budgets under control/managable. However, Reagan left the White House in 1988 with the LARGEST DEFICIR in US HISORY.

let me repeat: LARGEST DEFICIT in US HISTORY.

Reagan borrowed from the future to provide tax cuts to the rich -- as now Lil' Bush is doing.
