check your numbers. The current adminstrations proposal (excluding health care reform - God help us) creates more deficit spending that all previous presidents combined. We can all complain about the Iraqi war, but THAT is a drop in the bucket compared to the current proposals. There were a lot of young adults at the party quite worried about having to pay for this excessive spending. I will survive, no problem, but my children, grandchildren, and future great-grandchildren will be burdened from the cradle to the grave. The best thing the feds can do is reduce taxes and let the people decide how to best spend THEIR money. That is a proven solution, but we all know Congress knows best how to spend OUR money. Right now they are just stuffing money in the rabbit (sorry, wabbit) hole, with no bottom in sight. The old saying is true, when you're in a hole, quit digging.
