Listen, if the federal reserve had more revenue, how do you explain all the cuts on education, and the all the government layoffs.

Hmm... you're assuming that a cut in the Department of Education's budget must be the result of less money in the treasury. But here's what the 2009 budget says about the cuts:

"In order to fund increases for education programs that are effective or show promise of demonstrating results while restraining overall Federal spending, the Budget reduces or terminates funding for 50 programs totaling $3.8 billion."

It's not lack of money, but a sense of fiscal responsibility, that led to the cuts.

It's not a matter of feelings, but that of facts. The reduction in capital gains rate did result in a doubling of revenue.

But I would like to see the entire federal budget trimmed of its obvious fat.
