You really need to me explain why global energy prices that were 4-500% lower during the time period would lead to higher tax revenues? REALLY?
I could give a crap about CBO estimates or any other statistic the government has thrown out. At the end of the day, the government has proven that no matter how much money we give it, they will spend that much and then MUCH, MUCH more. The answer will NEVER be to give them more money, it's to reign in the spending and limit the negative effect.
Post more. For crying out loud!
