Abstract:

Although many in Congress attempt to cloak their desire to raise American’s taxes in the rhetoric of deficit reduction, their real purpose to use the money to embark on another $100 billion spending spree could not be more transparent. Dozens of spending bills are already awaiting the tax-hike green light. If Bush permits a tax hike next year, he will lose both the war on the deficit and the war on wasteful spending.
