We would all like to have less government, less war, and the accompanying need for less taxes.
But neither Rep or Dem admininstrations show any tendency to move in these directions.
Ronald Reagan ran the deficits sky high but is admired as a Republican saint.
Bill Clinton was villified by the Reps but gave an honest attempt at attacking the deficit.
Obama's gambling that by running the deficits to the moon, he can avoid a depression and get
many people working again. I don't think you can borrow billions from Red China and create
wealth.
The Reps may well take the Presidency back in 2012 based on the public's fear of deficits.
But if they get back in, the deficits of past administrations will not be their problem, so they
will cut taxes, deregulate again, and let the corporate big boys drive our economy off the
cliff again, but in a diferent style than the Dems.

Truer words were never spoken! Both major parties seem to play pingpong with with "solutions" that don't work.
