"Were Congress to do nothing and let the Bush tax cuts expire and return rates to what they were during the Clinton era, that would generate an estimated $3.6 trillion in tax revenue over the next decade, largely solving the short-term deficit problem."
well, that quote was from a while back, before they renewed the tax cuts :(
I don't know scrap about the actual figures, but I did hear that the Republicans were fighting the tax increases, and that's why we are lagging in fixing the debt ceiling. I may be wrong, as always. (I am no one) I wish I knew all there was to know. Then I would have a good suggestion.
I still like my own suggestion--let's work together and fix things before it all goes to Hell.
So, we're moving too fast. I thought so.
