Wait a minute. Legislation passed by reconciliation expires after 10 years? Isn't that how ObamaCare passed?

Ah, no mathboy. The expiration in 10 years is iff a tax plan INCREASES the deficit. The Congressional Budget Office's last estimate predicted the NET REDUCTION in federal deficits would be $143 billion over the 2010–2019 period as a result of the proposed changes in direct spending and revenues. Great, eh?

From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
