Scumbria, OT Yes, I remember that bill - simply stated - the largest tax increase in history, I think. Wasn't that the the first time the govt. started taxing people's monthly Social Security checks? I remember the days of exploding deficits well. Budgets are balanced by either/both tax increases/reduced spending. The situation re. govt. spending has not been improved by Clinton et al. The improvement has come as a result of business and people. Government typically spends/redistributes money, business/people generate it. I've never heard of a person/organization that was too stupid/incompetant to spend money. Government spending frequently exemplifies this. In spite of "faux-wars" and "police actions" the population has more then kept pace, thanks to that tax increase. Social Security, health care system, energy policies, education levels, and drug enforcement policies are no better/much worse then they were 8 years ago. All IMHO, JohnD
