Future Budget Outlook Gloomy (Yahoo)

Analysts: Future Budget Outlook Gloomy

Keeping the federal budget at or near balance over the next 50 years could require painful tax increases, spending cuts or both, the Congressional Budget Office (news - web sites) says.

...

Thomas Kahn, his Democratic counterpart, said, "The worst thing we could do is approve the Republican agenda, because its extra $1 trillion in new tax cuts would make the long-term budget problem even worse."


I forwarded this to all my Repub. friends who are fiscal conservatives to let them know what their candidate has done to their country's economy and why the Bush tax cuts have to go.

2. Really? So, no Republican has ever changed their mind and voted Dem?
You really need to change your outlook. :)

I have already converted two people who voted for Bush last time to vote Dem this time.
