Economists: Bush Tax Cuts Reduced Revenue and Did Not Spur Economic Growth ..

CBPP: Bush Tax Cuts Cost $1.7 Trillion In Reduced Revenue.
-- From the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities [...]

CBO: Extending The Bush Tax Cuts Would Increase Deficits By $2.6 Trillion Over 10 Years.

In January 2010, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that extending the
tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 would increase deficits by $2.6 trillion between 2011-2020.

-- Congressional Budget Office, January 2010

Want to Cut the National Debt by 2.6 Trillion Dollars -- END THE Bush Tax Cuts.

Simple. They "promised" to do so anyways. I remember, way back in 2001.
