Deficits

I ran the numbers showing the impact of the tax cuts on the deficit versus the economic downturn, and obviously they didn't make an impression. I'm not going to bother repeating myself again, as I'm beginning to see facts aren't getting my point across.

Of the trillions of dollars we are going to owe in the future, over 99 percent is due to Medicare and Social Security. You can take that or leave it.

And only an idiot would assume that Bush gave tax cuts only to the rich to gain their votes. Have you counted those votes up? To gain many votes, the tax cuts would have to apply to a broad spectrum of voters, which in fact they do. You can't have it both ways.
