But history shows that when lawmakers control their proverbial pocketbooks, tax cuts bring bigger surpluses over the long haul. For Daschle to blithely slander Republicans as trying to raid his imaginary trust fund is knavish and cheap. Low taxes and low spending are our best hope of funding reforms to save Social Security.
