I wish they would not make the lower rates for the rest of us permanent. If they instead puts ours on a gradual slope restoring them to the 2000 levels in 4-8 years it would help whack the deficit. No way we will see spending cuts sufficient to get the job done. They should also get rid of the debt ceiling process. No way Congress critters should be able to make a deal on taxes and spending and then threaten default 6 months later to get what they agreed to forgo.
I agree. Let them all (tax rates) expire but phase them out over a few years, maybe a point or two a year. The 2003 tax cuts on dividends and cap gains had bigger and somewhat variable rate reductions so it could not be as gradual.
