I understand.
I wasn't offering an opinion either, although my opinion is in favor of them.
I just thought that a change in taxation should be viewed as to what goals you have and the effects that may occur when you change them - i.e. a conservative approach.
In the case of the tax cuts it appears that if the goal(s) were to reduce tax burden on those who pay and bring in more tax revenue then the tax cuts were a resounding success and should be made permanent as evidenced by the success they achieved.
