Balance the Budget... By Cutting Spending (NYT)

Mmmmhmmm… Even the New York Times can sometimes be objective (kinda). Check it out: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/11/13/weekinreview/deficits-graphic.html?choices=zzxpg010

It’s a pretty cool graphic. You can choose how to cut spending or raise taxes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include any ways to cut taxes and raise revenues… (ahem corporate taxes ahem)

Easy. I just checked them all. :stuck_out_tongue:

The whole thing is an exercise in futility.

I don’t care about the spending, as long as all taxes are cut I’m happy.

OK, whatever you say, Dick “Deficits Don’t Matter” Cheney.

Aren’t the last seven new taxes though?

Yeah, their little game lets you balance the budget without ticking any new taxes, though.
