In the interest of preventing the propagation of misinformation, I must
offer the following off-topic correction.
The deficit has dropped like a rock since the 2003 tax cuts. In the past
three years, tax receipts have soared by over 35%. The deficit has been
cut in half -- which the Bush administration promised to do by fiscal
2009 (its final budget) -- three years early.
If revenue goes up in the next 3 years by just 70% of the past 3 years'
rate, and if federal spending and economic growth are in line with
Congressional Budget Office projections, that 2009 final Bush budget
will show a surplus. That is, if we can keep Congress from enacting a
growth-killing tax increase.
Supply-side tax cuts are powerful things -- they can even work their
economy-stimulating and revenue-enhancing magic in the face of a war and
a sad lack of fiscal restraint. :-)
