"How does Obama intend to pay for our cradle-to-grave welfare state?
Why, by charging the dastardly 'millionaires and billionaires' who 'can
afford to pay a little bit more.' No more extending the Bush-era tax
rates for the rich. To do so, Obama tells us, would 'cost' $700 billion — over 10 years.
So this 'break' for the rich 'costs' $70 billion a year — or a mere 7%
of the $1 trillion annual deficits that Obama has rung up since he
became president. This leaves us short about $930 billion per year — just for the
annual deficit, never mind paring down the ever-growing national debt.
From where is the shortfall to be made up?" — Larry Elder, libertarian-conservative Republican commentator in California
