I would point out, our Democrat friends have run the first and second highest deficits in American history the last 2 years. They have raised taxes this session $625 billion, and guess how much went to reduce the deficit? Not one dime. In fact, all that money was sent in twice. No one seriously believes Democrats will use tax increases to lower the debt, but to expand and grow this government.
