here's your tax cut/loan

Greg — 1/21/2004 2:38:10 PM (archived)

For your information, the total cost of enacted tax cuts in, say, FY2004 is $272 billion.

There never was a tax cut, it all just went straight on the deficit. If you want to take out a loan, use the genius of the market or the unseen hand or whatever. All this is is the government taking out a loan on your behalf. Pure socialism.
