From The Washington Post via Chart Porn.
An excellent interactive that demonstrates the differing consequences of allowing some or all of "The Bush Tax Cuts" to expire ....... or not.
What's really interesting to me are the headings within the interactive.
Let all cuts expire - Cost to Gov't: No cost
Obama's plan - Cost to Gov't: $3 trillion
Extend all cuts - Cost to Gov't: $3.7 trillion
If you just sit there and think about it even a little, shouldn't it read?
Let all cuts expire - Cost to American Taxpayers - $3.7 trillion
Obama's plan - Cost to American Taxpayers - $700 Billion
Extend all cuts - Cost to American Taxpayers: No additional cost
