34 DAYS SINCE DEFICITS DECLARED UNSUSTAINABLE |
|
On March 2nd, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan declared that the current deficits were unsustainable. He also stated that the cost of making ****'s tax cuts permanent would add 1,8 trillion dollars to the federal debt. To this date , **** and the republican congress have proposed nothing substantial to reduce the deficits. Currently , the cost of the operations in Iraq are not being included in the budget. The cost of this is estimated at 207 Bill by the end of this fiscal year. Also off the budget is the cost of transition for ****'s Social Security privatization plan ,which is estimated at 104.5 bill for the first year and 2.2 trill over the decade.

1. consider the tax cuts as part of a trap |
|
the repukes get their tax cuts for the wealthiest -- at least for a while.
then finally a dem is elected taxes are raised -- because their is no other choice -- and repukes, based on history -- attack with ''class warfare''.
dem rhetoric has been weak in recent times answering this attack and dems find themselves against the wall again.
of course if they{dems} should get aggressive with ''class warfare'' reasoning -- they might find the shoe on the other foot -- and a winning strategy.
just a thought.
