thats cute but what your graphs are missing is that dubyas fiscal policy along with a compliant fed has pumped so much gotdam money into the economy that once the asians stop buying our debt we are going to get assfucked with inflation. its already bad enough given that just about every asset class is looking fully valued right about now.

also something which those graphs dont describe is the shifting of the tax burden from the wealthy to those in the upper middle class, middle class, and on down below. something else which may shock you is that the alternative minimum tax will pretty much take away the great benefits of the almighty george w bushs tax cuts for a lot of people unless you are one of those who has won lifes lottery and enjoy a big fat trust fund with a bunch of high priced lawyers and attorneys to shield your wealth and leave paying for government up to the little people
