DrewEckhardt 0 #3 May 23, 2006 The government needs the $220 million more than the students so that this year's deficit can be about .04 - .07% lower (given an original projection of $423B and claimed potential to only go $300B deeper in debt) than it would be without the tax increase.

lawrocket 3 #4 May 23, 2006 A recent statement was issued by the White House, paraphrasing a statement made by a previous president, and asking the help of all American parents: "We could [let you keep the money] and hope you spend it right... But ... if you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen. In 2013 -- that's just [7] years away -- taxes people pay on their payroll for Social Security will no longer cover the monthly checks... I want every parent here to look at the young people here, and ask yourself, 'Do you really want to run the risk of [that]?' " They raised the capital gains tax on education savings for youths up to the same rate that it would be for adults. They should raise it higher since there's a chance that the savings for school could[\i] be used at a religious school. My wife is hotter than your wife.
