Ed Martin Calls For Higher Deficits, More Debt

It's a Tuesday, which means it's a great day for a Republican to call for sweeping tax cuts. Ed Martin takes his turn today:

If a one-time $600 tax break per person boosted economic growth over 3% – during a recession! — just imagine what our economy would do if Washington enacted significant, permanent tax reductions!

Ironically, the Martin campaign assigned the tag "fiscal responsibility" to today's call for decidedly irresponsible cuts.

Until Martin outlines all of the programs and services he's willing to cut to offset a "significant, permanent" loss of revenue, he should probably refrain any chest beating about balanced budgets or federal deficits.

At a minimum, he ought to take down the whirling national debt widget prominently displayed on his website.
