To the Editor:
In response the the 01-06-06
Northwest Herald front-page story, "President pushes for fixed
tax cuts."
A more accurate headline would have read: "Bush pushes for future
tax increases." The only way to appropriately cut taxes is to cut an
equal amount of spending, too.
Our federal government, with so-called small-government Republicans
in power, still misses the point of what a small government is
supposed to mean. They can cut taxes all they want for the immediate
future, but those long-term deficits still are out there.
Democrats would do no better for the small-government cause but
they'll come out and tell us they will spend big. At least they are
honest about it.
There still are those of us out there that genuinely want small
government with little spending.
I have a question for the ardent Republican and Democrat
supporters: How will you explain to your children that they will be
paying for today's big government spending?
