Why would the democratic Congress pass a law targeting the staff of a Democratic President and why would President Obama sign a bill that targets his own staff?

It's easy to see "pass a law" for everything, but sooner or later, I think it's reasonable to ask our leaders to show some personal responsibility.

Fiscally responsible while cutting taxes (revenue). It makes so much sense!

Raising taxes does not necessarily revenue income for the government. Lowering taxes does not necessarliy decrease revenue fo the government. If lowering tax rates increases production, then taxing more production at a lower rate can increase revenue.

In the same way, increasing taxes which results in lowering economic activity could result in less revenue based on taxing less production at a higher rate.

Things aren't exactly linear here.

Yeah, except that in every society in the world tax rates are below the Laffer curve maximum.

When Ronald Reagan lowered tax rates, it resulted in raising revenues. True, tax rates were pretty high back then, but I would not think it was higher than many Europen nations.
