Yes this provides evidence that spending is out of control. No argument.

How will the Dem's change this?

It's a simple question Brian.

BTW- this is a better indidcation of the debt issue.

I would askyou this:

Which party is more likely to raise taxes and continue to spend other people's money with abandon?

GW's tax cuts have saved me approx. $1200/yr.

Effectively, my childrens futures have been mortgaged so I can have Starbucks every day.

Jeffery,

If you are suffering guilt over having received a tax cut. Please send it back to the IRS and all will be better.

Let's face it folks BOTH paries have a hand in this.

What real answers will the American public accept?

Just life experiences. Democrats never met a tax they didn't like.

No guilt and if I thought they'd use it to pay down the debt, I would.

Instead, I donate it to MoveOn.org and the Electronic Freedom Foundation. (eff.org). At least then, I know it's being used by organizations who's agendas I support.

[Michael Larson]

Jeffrey, If you actually sent the money to the IRS it would reduce the deficit. It can do nothing less.

I never understand why a small businessman would support the ultra leftists and their socialist(near communist) agendas. I guess they really think that it will cost them little or nothing and that the "other guy" will be the one to pay and pay and pay. Nothing else seems to explain it IMHO.

And I will never understand why a small businessman would support a party who's purpose seems to be rewarding big business at the expense of both small business and the average taxpayer.

As a small business, I still have more in common with my neighbor than I do with General Electric. So why would I support an agenda that tilts the playing field in their favor?

News flash Jeffrey-

Big business doesn't care what party is in power. They are careful to play BOTH sides of the aisle.

Small business on the other hand is hurt by excessive regulation and increased taxes. The Dems are NOT friends of small business.

Are you on welfare, single and pregnant, a minority, Mexican, or over 65 years old? They get the services that you, I, AND General Electric pay for. If you're for that, there's nothing we can do to make you see the light.
