Never? That's a long time.... Regan was able to put in meaningful tax reform, Bush and Clinton failed, it might be time once again...

Certainly tax reform is in the Obama game plan but it will take some time before he can focus on that.

I do think if Obama is able to spend $850 Billion (plus or minus) on his stimulus plan along with the leftover $350 Billion from the first go round, cut taxes on 95% of Americans, Increase federal spending and programs, reform the tax code, while at the same time reducing the federal budget deficit, strengthening the economy and providing for our national defence, well then the Republican party might just as well fold up and call it quits because it would make a mockery of everything they have ever stood for.

But they got a black dude in charge now, they've already solved all their problems!
