A New Mexican miscellany, offering eclectic linkage since 1999.

Radio Free USA:

Top fiscal watchdog delivers stinging attack on deficit. A couple of excellent points here.  One, “If foreign investors decide that they don’t want to hold U.S. debt anymore, it could be catastrophic.” And two: “ ... even when surpluses were “projected” in the 1990s, there were still long-term deficits forecast.”

With manufacturing jobs moving offshore [and tax benefits helping it along], and now service jobs heading the same way, ‘tax cuts’ aren’t doing much except for the wealthy.  Blast from the past:  How the Reagan budget deficits became today’s surpluses.

Now you know who to tax, and where cuts would be most useful.
