with the surplus ...

"Tax cuts."

And when asked, in essentially the same interview, what he would do when faced with a recession ...

"Tax cuts."

I actually have the scan of the newspaper article where it points out he said "Tax cuts, so help me God."

Republicans' strangle-hold on the idea that tax cuts for the upper class are a cure-all makes snake oil look like penicillin ...

and aren't they always pooh-poohing ANYTHING proposed by a Dem to help reduce (not advertised as erasing the deficit/debt) as "not able to eliminate the debt" by itself???
