re: #234 Sol Berdinowitz

I remember Rush Limbaugh saying that the budget surplus under Clinton was a bad thing: it is immoral for the government to take more money from us than it needs to operate…

Yeah, folks forget that one of the planks Dubya ran on was that surpluses are immoral and he’d pass tax cuts because “the economy works better when people have their own money to spend.” Cut to 8 years later, when his tax cuts had led to a redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the rich not seen since the days of Reagan.
