Math is hard, Harry Reid version - Powerline crunches the numbers and finds that the Senate Democrats' new millionaires surtax will carve a whopping 3% off the annual deficit.

Indeed, the deficit would still exist... so why bother? Although math is hard, why can't Reid understand that 3 = 0?
Can't we have thoughtful solutions for serious problems, and just defund Planned Parenthood a couple of million times instead?
Related to both areas: remember when they sent Laura Bush out to sell the administration's stem cell research cuts? Because the science was "very preliminary," and the medical benefits would be years away?
Wow, I don't know how this got all turned around. I think the point is that when the government is borrowing $4 billion a day, even a 100% confiscation of the "rich" money won't cover the bill.
If we could pass it through Congress, which we can't.
