ORIGINAL: MrRodgers This is a change in your replies DS. I have history and the facts behind me, therefore I am not being partisan at all and simply wonder where all of this fiscal conservatism is. Debt in 2001 $5.6 trillion. Debt on 2008 $13 trillion. No tax cuts ever increases revenue unless you lower cap gains which Bush did and as I've stated before, results in a short term windfall on those gains, now realized because of the discount. Those mere billion$ in that 'windfall' put no dent into the trillion$ of borrowing. Even in a lecture delivered by a writer for National Review, asked how is it that people should vote for repubs because they were small govt., fiscally sound ? When in the last 40 or more years have these people when in power, ever shown us that they are small govt., fiscal conservatives ? They haven't and still aren't. Are you saying the OMB.gov History Budget spreadsheet isn't facts? Your response to the increase in revenues is to point out that the budget deficit increased. I acknowledged that spending saw and "incredible increase," which helps explain why the deficit went up even though revenues went up. If you're going to pivot to deflect from the actual discussion, I'd rather know now so I can just ignore your responses. My source was the US Treasury so I guess our sources conflict or without a link to that OMB.gov, I can't tell.
