These, of course, are not the choices. There has never been a depression that was avoided by increasing taxes, and in fact, The Great Depression was prolonged by tax increases.

RW, > I will take a 33% increase in taxes rather than a 100% decrease in income any day.

You're making a false assumption. Without the 33% increase in spending, you think your chances for being unemployed would be 100%.

Come on John, who do you think you're fooling?
