From my Kiplinger newsletter:
"McCain’s big tax cuts would be a hard sell. His plan to extend Bush’s cuts and add more would cost $627 billion over 10 years. Even if it spurred the economy and brought in more revenue, there would be a lag and the deficit would still rise. McCain’s plans to rein in spending...freezing domestic programs at current levels and ending earmarks...would save only $20 billion a year, barely denting the deficit."
"Obama wouldn’t fare much better. His tax hike on upper-incomers, along with cuts for most others, would add $595 billion in revenue over 10 years. But that wouldn’t go far in fulfilling his promises to spend $15 billion more a year on alternative energy, $18 billion on education and $100 billion on health care. Also at risk: More funding to rebuild the armed forces, expand job training, shore up Medicaid, lend more to small businesses and boost science research."
