Sunday, July 25th, 2010

The Wall Street Journal has a good article that interjects reality in order to debunk some common leftist myths.

The problem is massive, uncontrolled government spending, not the myth of lost tax revenue.

  • The Bush tax cuts wiped out last decade’s budget surpluses.
  • The next decade’s deficits are the result of the previous administration’s profligacy
  • Declining revenues are driving future deficits
