True, so how do you get employment down?

Federal revenue was fine during the Bush years...problem was that Bush was busy trying to conquer the world with the military. The whole idea behind the tax cuts was that the govt. was running a surplus...which means it was taking more of our money than it needed.
Yes Bush inherited a surplus, spent and cut you into the mess you're in now. And?

Bush's stupidity was thinking we could fight expensive wars at the same time. That isn't the case now.
The case now is. The US is deep in debt and taxes are not covering the debts? So cut taxes and then what happens?
