if we were discussing a family's budget and recognized that its spending obligations exceeded its present income, and that its line of credit was maxxed out, to propose reducing the annual income as the solution to that financial problem would be found imprudent. so, why does the right wing think reducing our national income, by making a tax reduction permanent, is an appropriate solution when our country's fiscal crisis is like the budget issue described above?
