You seem like a pretty smart guy Rudey, so I'm sure you're familiar with the textbook economics behind fiscal policy during a recession. When the country is facing a large deficit, you do not cut taxes. You RAISE taxes. This provides the federal goverment more spending power and funding to drive social programs and the commercial industry. The boost in spending to the commercial sector in turn drives higher levels of income and employment, and helps boost the economy out of recession.

A) US and Global are tied together.
B) There are fears in terms of the deficit by some but it's not considered the biggest deal. Yes it should be addressed and fixed, but it isn't considered an economic disaster.
C) I am an incredibly smart guy
