Post by: MFAWG on December 11, 2010, 08:22:48 AM Quote You can be the most zealous Keynesian economist on the planet and still know that at some point we cannot continue to have both guns and butter without serious repercussions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're withdrawing from Afghanistan next year and our consumption of guns will probably go down precipitously as a result? The OUTRAGE on the left is highly amusing to watch, however. Bottom line is that a tax INCREASE of any kind is still a questionable move at this point in time. My favorite part is the one year duration of the 2 pct payroll deduction cut. I'm not sure that the GOPPERs aren't stupid enough to vote against an extension of that on the eve of Iowa's caucus. |
