Excessive tax cuts and rebates may play well with voters, but history has shown it is not responsible budgeting, any more than a family spending its income tax return on frills while ignoring the shriveled shingles on the roof that need replacing. 

Just once it would be nice to hear a politician acknowledge that surpluses should be saved to cushion the inevitable economic downturns we know are inevitable — if we’ve studied our history, that is.
