Heritage Foundation is about as right-wing as it gets. The article's bias should be taken into consideration.
Also I would argue Bush has lowered taxes below what our budget can handle. If there has been any irrational decision-making, it's come from him. He should have cut spending if he wanted to lower taxes.
So, while I'm not at all excited about "raising taxes" (or is it rolling back the tax cuts?), it is actually more fiscally responsible than our current situation. If no one wants to cut programs, the only other option is to raise taxes.
