Budget Follies 2010

Like a bad sitcom that should've been cancelled long ago, the annual farce known as the Budget Follies is back. The comedy comes from the Repubs who keep complaining about the deficit but want to keep the Bush tax cuts in place. Not so long ago the Repubs allowed GWB to squander a trillion dollars to invade Iraq, and they said "Deficits don't matter." Deficits don't matter, when they're in charge. But the strange part about it is how nobody notices that we have these high deficits becauseof the Bush tax cuts. In fact, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire would eliminate the deficit in 5 years.

Why doesn't anybody think of that?
