"Tax Cuts Are Their Jesus"

(That quote from actor Bradley Whitford last year on “Real Time with Bill Maher” absolutely nailed it; he appeared again on the most recent show, and I’ll try to have a post soon on it.)

The debt is growing. What’s the answer? Tax cuts.

We have no national health insurance or even a dialogue on how millions of Americans who aren’t currently covered will be in the future. What’s the answer? Tax cuts.

The national minimum wage has been steadily declining in purchasing power since 1968 (according to Wikipedia). What’s the answer? Tax cuts.

Our reserves and National Guard forces, and their equipment, are depleted. What’s the answer? Tax cuts.

“First responders” in the event of another terrorist attack are still underfunded. What’s the answer? Tax cuts.

When the next Category 5 hurricane hits the Gulf Region, the area will not be secured, or at least whatever levees that will be constructed to replace those destroyed by Katrina won’t be ready in time for the next hurricane season. What’s the answer? Tax cuts.

This is a partial list; I could go on and on and on and on...
