   Well, you got the part about cutting spending right, but the tax cuts do not   
   need to stay.  What Bush did with the tax cuts was gave a 96% tax cut for   
   the top 5% wealthiest Americans and averaged it out over everybody else so   
   it would seem like everybody got a remarkable tax break, but they didn't.   
   Bush is the master of misleading.   
      
   Clinton raised taxes in 1993 (5 percent on the richest Americans, and one   
   percent on the bottom three quarters) and the economy boomed.  At the same   
   time, most members of the GOP (none of which voted for the tax increse)   
   predicted that the economy would tank.  Looks like they were wrong.
