The Goat Pen

with the same spending and taxation levels, from a previous year (I've heard 2008 suggested, but 2007 or 2006 would be okay too) which would balance the budget automatically. In all of those years, we were deficit spending so that it would not balance the budget. How about going back to a year that...

This is just soooo wrong....

Did you notice the part where I said, "for example"? Anyway, we could probably raise $600B if you put faith in the Laffer Curve (nod to Tone). Many economists believe revenue will continue to go up until you hit an effective tax rate of around 70%. It would be very painful, though. Histor...

Obama/Biden < Clinton/Gore. It's not really even close. Anyway, as we all know, the president gets too much credit when things are good and takes too much heat when things are bad. What I'd like to see from Obama. 1. Drop the Patriot Act like it was hot. 2. Get out of wars in countries that will ha...

Ok, tick, since you can't figure it out on your own, I guess I'll have to spell it out for you. The key in bridging the deficit gap is in the spending. You are so enamored with Clinton's balance budget in 1999-2001. Well, here is the secret to Clinton's balance budget. The government spent less duri...
