What a joke. 2009 is Bush's budget, as I've pointed out to you many times here. The Obama Stimulus was half tax cuts which didn't affect the deficit until the next year, the rest was spending that was spread out over 3 years.
If I was making the decision on tax cuts I would kill all of them. Why? Because I don't equate the tax rates of the 90s to socialism. We had a pretty thriving free market back in those days. And because I care about my country and I am more serious about fixing the problem than sticking to ideology: And yes that means I agree there needs to be entitlement reform.
It's clear Obama will seek to keep the middle class tax cuts permanent, while restoring the Clinton era rates to Americans who can easily afford it.
But if the GOP plays hardball again and refuses to compromise maybe I'll get my wish.

- Well. Three "Pinocchios" from the Washington Post.
- So, it's all about the "growth?" What about the actual amount?
