tripods68 -- I am sort of surprised that you are aghast that Democrats are suggesting that the Bush tax cuts should expire. The whole tax cut argument was based on the fact that the tax cuts should expire (that was how Bush and Repubs were able to convince anyone that we could do it and keep the budget balanced). Then Bush decided to attack Iraq - this has cost us over $507 billion dollars so far -- it looks to be about 2 billion per week now.

Are you suggesting that we leave this for your kids/grandkids? Did you complain about all the Repub spending? They took a trillion dollar surplus and turned it into a deficit -- I did not hear you complaining about the tax cuts during the Repub fiasco.

Face it -- the tax burden should and will be carried by the generation that produced the debt.

And if all you free market advocates would just get out there and remove all the tax breaks for corporations and bail-outs for failing s&l-s, banks - and my favorite initials BS., then start cutting farm subsidies (we still sub tobacco farms for X's sake) -- I guess a good date to regress to would be sometime before Teddy Roosevelt - back when the robber barons ruled (read The Jungle) -- ACK!, I've climbed up on my anti-ayn rand horse again -- sorry, I get carried away.

I ain't necessarily a Democrat but I am a capital 'L' Liberal (but that probably does not surprise anyone).
