    I don't think the specific deductions are the big point. The additional revenues from the economic growth will negate any concern about any losses from the rate reductions .

    That's a foreign concept tom, increased growth leading to more revenue for everyone including the government.

    Yeah I know . Even though there is a proven track record from JFK ,Reagan ,and GW Bush ,that supply side cuts stimulate the economy ,they don't believe the evidence.
    Any deficit increases from those eras can be directly linked to uncontrolled spending ;not the tax cuts.

    The latest debate theory, Romney cheated.




    Quote:

    There is a scandal brewing that suggests that Mitt Romney used crib notes for the debate. This is of course, C-H-E-A-T-I-N-G! and would be awful if true.

    I believe the candidates are only supposed to have a blank piece of paper (pad) and a pen at the podium, provided by the CPD. No notes, this isn't "open book."

    In a move that might remind many of Joe Niekro 's flying emery board Romney seems to have gotten caught taking notes from his pocket and later unfolding it on the podium.

    Watch Romney's right hand, very early in the video starting at 0:00:09

    Mitt takes something out of his pocket and tosses it on the podium. It seems as if he maybe using his body to try and screen the movement. It's very fast, the whole thing is over by 0:00:12
    "Hankygate."

    I would think that ex, the business owner, would understand that.

    Can you specifically define that uncontrolled spending for us please? You may exclude tax cuts for corporations if that helps you, or funding for all the bubbles and crashes that they went through, and the business cycle as well. So what's left? Military? Wars? Booze/women? What are those uncontrolled spending by JFK. Reagan, and Bush?

    Hello again, Steve:

    Obama sucked because he's a lousy debater. But, he's a GOOD campaigner and Romney isn't.. That's why he's going to WIN.

    Hello again, Steve:

    I don't know... We don't have congressmen who think slavery was a blessing for black people.. And, we don't have congressmen who think the Big Bang and evolution are 'Lies Straight From The Pit Of Hell'.

    But YOU do.

    Well Tal he knows what he has been taught, something about a system that is the only way and a government that is the only way and that despite his personal challenges he is better than anyoneelse. Lots of people confuse socialism with communism, the difference is really in the degree of control over the individual. You can have state owned enterprise without controlling the individual. I think the Chinese have learned this lesson well even if it took forty years
