Except that every time the economy gets good again, taxes get cut again. Things are only tight right now because taxes were lowered after the Clinton surplus years. What needs to happen is to keep taxes up after the economy recovers and
save the surplus, just like a responsible individual would do. But that's not what happens. Taxes will never go perpetually upward like you fear, because "tax cuts" is an easy platform to run on.
