While we must obviously have to rely on some group for honest, unbiased projections, the CBO should not necessarily be the only route to that end. Here is a most interesting article.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dean-baker/irresponsibly-following-t_b_272965.html<br /><br />On the subject of tax cuts and economic growth, may I suggest perusing this article as well as many of the articles contributing to it.

AND at the outset of winter (even if one chooses to disregard (with "perfect" political correctness) the Holiday season. If The Senate is hoping that the se people will rise-up they would be far better to have done so BEFORE the election or, wait until the heat of mid-summer for greatest effect with the least risk to those who will shortly be homeless and/or freezing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
