The budget agency, in its monthly review released Friday, estimated that corporate receipts would exceed $330 billion in fiscal 2006, up 18% from 2005. That is double the increase that the agency estimated at the beginning of the government's fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
You're preaching to the choir DVP, I am a fiscally conservative economist and believe that tax rates should be as low as possible to stimulate the economy, but the plain fact remains that lower tax rates = lower tax receipts in the short run. Reagonomics is factually wrong.

Exactly, the cost to defend this country from Islamic Terrorism is not a budgetary item. You cannot put a price tag on winning a war. The fact remains that the DOD budget is less than the others, and unless you do not want to defend the country then the discretionary funding is needed.

Well I am in the camp that views the two as one in the same. And if we really wanted to end the violence going on in Iraq we need to go after Iran. They are the ones that are funding, fueling, and providing weapons to the terrorists fighting in Iraq.

More than was estimated, but still less than you would have had if the tax rate had been higher.

I never knew you were a fiscal conservative, but as for Reaganomics being wrong I would say it really depends. In the right environment it would work well, in others not so.

Lower taxes = less revenue.
I don't like taxes but we have to seriously curb the deficit spending. It's out of control and we should at least make an effort towards paying off the debt.
Less debt = less interest = less taxes in the future.
Reagonomics is always wrong. Supply side econ is a falsehood, the trickle down effect doesn't work, etc. etc. etc.
