tonto, The deficit and the debt have increased much faster than revenues. In real terms, we are losing ground.

A lie is a lie no matter how many times you tell it.

Reagan cut taxes and revenue went down (82-83). Bush cut taxes and revenue went down for 3 years in a row (2001, 2002, 2003).

In fact those are the only times in the last 35 years that federal revenue went down from one year to the next. Federal Revenue is almost always at a record high (except after Reagan and Bush tax cuts). You see, the facts are the opposite of what you claim.

Look it up for yourself, and stop being such a dumbass...

Clinton raised taxes and revenue soared. Federal revenue went up faster under Jimmy Carter than under Reagan. These are facts.

Maybe next time you'll tell us if we take money out of our bank accounts our balances will go up? If we quit our jobs, our income will go up? Do you have to be mentally retarded to believe this crap?

BTW: My dog's name is Tonto and the two of you have similar grasps of economics.
