One way to do that is correct for the misuse of deductions. Steve it really is a waste of time for us to even try and come to terms here I am convinced that you are either nuts or truly a low information voter You see the same in me So, again, it isn't worth the time to frame responses Over and out......

Steve - this is where the debt has come from: taxpolicycenter.org Republican tax cuts. It's undeniable. Irresponsible Republicans have cut taxes, over and over, since Reagan. They haven't made the spending cuts required to bring the budget into balance, with the exception of Bill Clinton for three years. It's EASY to sell tax cuts (magic beans). Who DOESN'T like them? They're friggin' MAGIC! Did YOU believe it when you were told every tax cut produces more revenue? I get an irony laugh whenever an (R) spouts this quote (they usually attribute it to a Founding Father): "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with a result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years." Sir Alexander Fraser Tyler "Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic" They think it applies to the (D)'s - but it's THEM, with their tax cuts!
