Nonsense. Its not tax cuts....it spending. If you cut taxes and revenues do not increase you need to cut spending. Entitlements need to be reformed. Hopefully the next Congress has the balls to do something before the country goes over the cliff....

Just two policies dating from the Bush Administration — tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — accounted for over $500 billion of the deficit Afg is Obamas War. The Good War. Yet, you want to blame Bush for Obama's deficits during it? As to the tax cuts, we simply don't know HOW BAD the economy might have been without them. WHICH IS PRECISELY THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS AND OBAMA CONTINUED THEM. Blaming Bush for horrible economic policy has come and gone. We are now in the midst of the worst economic crisis in our nation's history. And it is on Obama's watch, NOT Bush's. Whatever Bush may have gotten wrong in the economy is NOTHING compared with the blunders Obama made that have exacerbated it. We have moved from a short term economic crunch to a full scale economic collapse, UNDER THE WEIGHT OF OBAMA INSANE SPENDING. His partisanship and that of other Democrats makes it impossible to solve these problems. It has now been PROVEN AGAIN that liberal economic policy just doesn't work, just as it was during the depression when FDR dragged it out almost a full decade longer than it otherwise would have been. Now Obama has done the same.

Well this is progress......Rush finally admits that the right has become radical. Morning Score: Gingrich still getting pounded By POLITICO STAFF \| 5/17/11 5:56 AM EDT From today's edition: THE RIGHT SLAMS NEWT – ON THE AIRWAVES – The conservative opinion elite is just all-out unloading on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for criticizing Paul Ryan’s budget plan, with thought leaders from Rush Limbaugh to Rich Lowry joining in the pile-on. Limbaugh used his show to accuse Gingrich of cynically seeking out a “niche to occupy” in the 2012 field.” RUSH: “It's amazing how many people seek out niches … So the niche here is, ‘Everybody but me is radical. Republicans are radical here with their social engineering. Democrats are radical. We need somebody more reasonable, like me.’ That's the niche that Newt's trying to find here … I know what he's trying to do with that, but this is the politics of it right now. There's a groundswell here for a massive, massive reduction in the size of government.” bit.ly AND – IN PRINT: National Review editor Rich Lowry dedicates his column today to ridiculing Gingrich, arguing that the Georgian turns every debate into “a grand sociological clash between different regions of the country.” RICH: “He can’t help himself. Gingrich prefers extravagant lambasting when a mere distancing would do, and the over-arching theoretical construct to a mundane pander. He is drawn irresistibly to operatic overstatement — sometimes brilliant, always interesting and occasionally downright absurd … It’s Newt’s misfortune to want a high-pressure executive job with monarchical trappings where steadfastness and dignity matter.” bit.ly Read more: politico.com
