BlueOregon: Gordon Smith’s $1.9-Billion-a-Week Problem (1147 words)
In addition, Senator Smith wants to repeal the estate tax, which would cost $1 trillion in the decade after it takes effect when you include the $255 million of interest that will need to be paid to cover the cost of the increase in the nation’s debt because of the repeal.
