But let’s be clear: We are in this bind because voters have bought into the credo that, when it comes to taxes, What Goes Down Must Not Come Up. Perpetual and irreversible tax cutting is a recipe for a fiscal crunch, and we’re hurtling toward one now, as the GOP pursues ever more tax cuts and Democrats feel compelled to follow...
