SD, > Yes, and that's exactly what Clinton did. Revenue was up and growing, the deficit was on it's way to extinction. You have an incredible ability to revise history. It took six years before the deficit was gone. Six years after Clinton raised taxes. A lot happened during that period of time, including the Contract With America and the partisan battles between Clinton and Gingrich that ultimately held government spending in check. > ybe you're too simple minded or too dishonest to appreciate this, but if the economy is expanding and you're running surpluses, you don't need to raise taxes then. How convenient for you to advocate cutting taxes exactly at the time Clinton did it. You are a true partisan hack. I won't even bother to point out how the tax cuts were actually pushed by Republicans and only signed into law by a reluctant Clinton. Tenchusatsu
