Not even close...

The Obama tax cuts for the rich are less than 400 billion annually.

So, 500 + 400 is 900. You are at least 300 billion short.

Please Keep trying.

Continuing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for everyone would cost $4.5 trillion over 10 years

The budget office expects the total deficit for the year, barring any drastic spending legislation, to end up around $1.2 trillion.

And you know, of course, the 500B defense cut will never be approved by Democrats. So, enjoy your fantasy.

I made a mistake in my prior post. I was too generous with the amount of the Bush Tax Cut.

The Obama tax cuts for the rich are about 226 billion annually.

So, 500 + 226 is 726. You are at least 474 billion short.

So again, Please Keep trying.
