    AGREEMENT REACHED: FY2007 deficit erased without raising taxes! | 20 comments (20 topical, 0 hidden)
    "Victory" isn't postponing a knock out (3.00 / 1) (#16)
    by Angry White Male on Sat May 26, 2007 at 07:02:34 PM EST
    There are less than $100 million in real "hard cuts" here. The amount of government spending actually goes up. There is zero reform or restructuring. What there is is a ton of new debt. Forget that "tobacco money securitization" tripe - it's just new borrowing.

    So tell me again why this is a "victory?" Especially since, reportedly as the price for this "deal," Mike Bishop caved on an income tax, all but guaranteeing a massive increase in the most economically destructive tax there is?

    You can only call this a victory in the sense that rather getting knocked out in the first round, our side put it off until the third. It's still a knock out, for Republicans politically (see my diary entry about dead rat heads in Coke bottles) and for the state economically.
