If we simply let the bush tax cuts expire, the deficit would go poof once we got out back to full employment (and got out of Afghanistan).

Proposing even more tax cuts isn’t facing the problem. Look up the phrase “starve the beast” and you will understand that the crisis is a manufactured one.

i remember that the balanced budget produced, among other reasons, by the clinton tax rates resulted in republican op-eds claiming that a balanced budget proved that taxes were too high
