The thing is when Bush and the Republicans passed their tax cuts back in 2001, they specifically set them to expire in about a decade because they knew the long term finances would look terrible. Now it seems like everyone has shifted to a mentality that we can't possibly let them expire.
No one wants to pay more taxes, if it was an ideal world the tax rate would be zero and we would get everything for free. But at this point where the country is going broke, I say just let them expire like they were originally supposed to. That would solve a huge part of their deficit crisis everyone is talking about.
- Let the rates go back to 90s levels, the economy did alright back then if I remember correctlyukit
