Kudos to anyone beating the surplus the Grouch is sure to come up with.
My disappointment is that some obvious revenue enhancing measures are not included. For example, I propose a 75% maximum income tax on all members of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President retroactive to income earned since 1980. As a matter of fact, I think most Americans would support an income tax surcharge of 15% on all economists in D.C. on the principle that, the more you tax something, the less you get.
While I am at it, I have to ask why future economic policy makers and their teachers have to put in the public domain their obvious lack of rhythm: Harvard Holiday Party. One would think that, after screwing up the economy, they would keep a low profile.
