Hardly all of them and if you really think that it's because of the liberals on Capitol Hill, then you're blind. They've done NOTHING. What small changes we're seeing are most likely the result of increasing confidence by private enterprise that a more conservative and business-friendly leadership is coming to power. You can worship at the feet of Obama all you want, but I'll take an honest and objective assessment over your blatant idolatry any day.

Why would you vote for a 20% further tax cut to add to the debt at this point?

If it adds to private enterprises ability to create more jobs and more taxpayers, I'm all for it. Yeah, I know that you think that this doesn't work, but those of us with neurons which actually communicate with each other understand that it does. We'll take the steps to keep you in business though, so you can afford your intenet and come on here and whine.

That is not an argument.

It is merely an attitude...

And what "trends" might those be?

Do you mean, for instance, economic growth that is so anemic that it does not even keep pace with population growth?

It is not a "tax cut," contrary to your unabashed spin.

Gov. Romney has already indicated--time and time again--that he would not support any decrease in tax rates that goes unaccompanied by a closing of tax loopholes to such an extent that the net result would be revenue neutrality...

You people really have to stop giving Mikeyy facts. They only serve to confuse him. Tell him things that make him feel better, not the truth, that makes him as happy and contented as can be.

Great question. The only answer I can see is the politicians who would do this are not working with the country's security and well being in mind but a separate set of constituents let's call em the "Caymen Bunch".
And the only reason a voter citizen would approve this is they have been drastically propagandized into forgetting/omitting the history that got us all here in the first place in their mission to blame the opposing party.

Lowering taxes at this juncture would be stupid and disastrous.
We need to cut spending and raise taxes (as I have of course stated before).
Add it up and subtract it and you cannot come up with another answer.
