"Only in you poor distorted imagination" and the LA Times WASHINGTON — President Clinton's sweeping economic program of tax increases and spending cuts narrowly cleared its last congressional hurdle Friday night, when the Senate ended a bitter, six-month battle and approved it, 51 to 50, with Vice President Al Gore casting a tie-breaking vote. articles.latimes.com "So if the increase in the tax rate was responsible for the Federal Surplus??? Why did it take 5 years." Because it was supposed to. Never try and cure a patient who has been sick for 12 years in just one day; your cure will kill him. "If the tax rates were responsible, then we should have seen a surplus in 1995?" If the increases had been twice as high, we would have. Would that have killed the patient? Who knows. The best we can do is double what we did last year and find out. It'll be a nice experiment.
