There is an interesting item here, and this should apply regardless of
party affiliation. If you are in debt, you don't cut your income until
the debt is retired. George W Bush had the chance to be a big hero and
let the federal debt be retired during his adminsistration. Once that
happened, then he could cut taxes and both democrats and republicans
would give him support.

recessions/depressions of the last 150 years have occured while a
Republican is in the White House. I don't have an explanation for this,
I'm just pointing out that the "party of big business" hasn't been very
good at its primary goal.On the other hand, the Democrats might be called the "anti-war" party,
but WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam all occurred on their watch. So much
for the "party of peace".All mirth aside, a concern: aren't the ceiling-raising federal budget
deficits going to force interest rates up? (They haven't yet, so maybe
I dozed off during something relevant in ECON 101). Can really fight
two wars at the same time, rebuild Iraq, and defend the homeland, all
without raising taxes? Don't the wheels come off at some point? Just
wondering.John, who sees "W" in a chess match with the forces of evil, and
doesn't
like our chances.>
