You guys seriously think making the bush era tax cuts expire would do ANYTHING to our deficit? I honestly don't even care about those tax cuts, let em expire, but that will not even put a dent in our problem.

"According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, making all of the Bush tax cuts permanent, as opposed to following the Obama proposal, would cost the federal government $680 billion in revenue over the next 10 years."

$680 BILLION over 10 years... so what that's $68 Billion a year in additional revenue from taxes... wow that really seems like a lot of money when compared to the $4.1B a day that is currently being added to our deficit under the current administration. NOT

Bush spent A LOT of money. Obama spends more than double that. We're all screwed no matter who's in office unless they do some serious spending cuts.
