I wish that were true, but ultimately, it won’t be. The numbers just don’t work. I know you were too young to remember, but when Bill Clinton originally ran for president, one of the cornerstones of his campaign was the promise of a middle class tax cut. After he actually got into office, we did not get a middle class tax cut. That would have been OK with me, but what we got was a middle class tax **increase**. Obama will have to do the same thing to support all his programs, and he will do it, no doubt at all in my mind.
