4. That's the classical "guns or butter" economic trade-off...
...what is so amazing about the chart is how blatantly obvious it has been what George Bush and the republicans in congress have done regarding federal fiscal irresponsibility. That $1.4 trillion tax cut for the rich was not wasted. It goes into financing the debt so that tax payers pay twice to the wealthy, repayment of the debt that they control and payment of the interest on that debt for as far out as the eye can see. There is no free lunch, Bush is promising farmers that they can keep their farms for their children by eliminating inheritance tax, except there won't be a farm because cheap imports and low prices will cause the independents to loose their farms. Voodoo economics Ronnie Reagan/G W Bush style. It must be stopped.
