I don't have a thing to add.

From Mike Niman's Republican Thanksgiving:

[Republicans] in the Senate voting themselves, and the other 14 million people comprising America’s richest classes, a fat new $60 billion tax cut. This on top of the previous Bush tax cuts that, along with the astronomical costs of the Iraq war, have plunged the federal government into virtual bankruptcy.

As has been the case since 1980 when George Bush Senior labeled Ronald Reagan’s fiscal policies “voodoo economics,” the math simply doesn’t add up. This was apparent even to the Congressional Republicans who, as a last-minute Thanksgiving gesture of “fiscal responsibility,” voted to slash Medicaid, food stamps, college loans, foster care, and a host of other programs comprising some of the last vestiges of our disappearing social safety net.
