Would simply letting the Bush Tax Cuts expire mean we don't need to raise the debt limit?
I know spending has surged thanks to the Bush Tax Cuts (duh) and expenditures caused by the Bush Tax Cut, Bush Financial Crash, and Bush Wars, but back at the end of the Clinton Administration, the deficit was actually falling.
And not because of cuts to the social safety net.
How about telling the Repigs to hell with the debt limit, expiration of the Bush Tax Cuts will automatically fix that problem ????
