Quote from Maverick74:
Tax cuts? Hahahahaha. Dude, cutting the top rate from 39.5% to 35% is not a tax cut, it's an embarrassment.

I don't consider 2.8 trillion an embarrassment

Tax cuts are estimated to have totaled $2.8 trillion, which we guess would count as âtrillions,â as the president put it. Strictly speaking, the two big tax cuts during the Bush years are estimated to total about $1.5 trillion, But many continued into the early years of the Obama presidency, and in December he cut a deal with Republicans to extend them even more, which brings us to $2.8 trillion.
(In case you are wondering, the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was $1.26 trillion through 2011 and the Medicare prescription drug program totaled $272 billion.)
Quote from peilthetraveler:
Math does not add up. 39.5% to 35% = $2.8 trillion in tax cuts? This means that the rich pay $24.5 trillion per year in taxes according to those figures. That means we could pay the national debt off this year, have our 3.6 trillion dollar budget and still mail off a stimulus check to every man woman and child for $20k and still have a surplus.
