In the most ambitious set of policies to strangle the government in recent memory the republicans led by the 1600 crew and fearless leader have been placing higher burdens on unwilling state legislatures/governments, while talking tax-cut tax-cut tax-cut. If all the tax-cuts come to fruition everywhere, will there even be enough money to pay the legislators at both the federal and state level. If not, that would be the ultimate irony...

In an argument that is so specious as to be almost laugh-out-loud funny, the anti-tax lobby always uses an analogy of the federal budget and the family budget. But no parent would toss a family member out on the street because they did not have enough money to make the household budget, which is exactly what the 1600 crew is proposing, a responsible person would seek additional revenue to maintain the household's status quo, and make cuts after no other alternatives were available, assuming of course they were not unemployed in Bush's America of the brave new millenium. The tax cut conservatives seem to believe that keeping current or future revenues coming in is not what a family would do. What a crock of shit. I guess they, like President Fuzzy Math are either fabulously wealthy, have weathy benefactors or are trust-fund babies. There's no other explanation for such a weird viewpoint.
