Quote of the day

Think about this. Really think about it:

If we actually ended the Bush-era tax cuts, that would pretty much do it.

-- Peter Orszag, President Obama's recently departed budget director, saying that letting tax rates for all taxpayers return to the levels before George W. Bush's presidency would bring the country within reach of Obama's goal to balance the budget by 2015

So what's the problem? Did we not have prosperity before the Bush era?
