Cutting spending HAS THE SAME IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY AS RAISING TAXES. Your post would make sense if it weren't pointing the finger only at a Democrat here. Perhaps it's time to put away the right wing blogs and start heading to the library. That way, you could make arguments that actually made sense.

that depends on what is cut. for instance if we cut the garbage programs that do essentially nothing, then there is no problem. and there is a lot of garbage in the federal budget.

Of course, you can't provide any proof that is so.

How many jobs are created from tax hikes?

Yes, wait a minute. You know Bernstein was one of obama's "uniquely qualified" rats that abandoned the sinking ship.

One of the "brains" that steered obama's economic policy and designed his stimulus.

Tell me WHY anyone should ever listen to this fool again?

The guy really is a disgrace. Everything is about political advantage, he doesn't have an honest bone in his body.
