The final nail in the supply side coffin: taxes are low, interest rates are low, corporations are sitting on $2 trillion in cash - but nothing "trickles down."

Republican-led House panel proposes cutting NASA's funding by $1.6 billion, which would kill the James Webb telescope, the crown jewel of NASA's astronomy plans for the next two decades. The cuts to NASA are the equivalent of approximately 5 days of funding for war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The Republicans, who control the House and now have greater control of the Senate, have now decided -- having tripled the debt in the 12 years before I took office and doubled it since I left -- that it's all of a sudden the biggest problem in the world" - Bill Clinton
