Moron Watson,
Now do we do this tomorrow or next week and pay a massive premium to buy back long term debt

You are simply wrong... the government was selling more 10-30 year bonds and shorter term bills/bonds just to keep up w/ others bonds'/bills' interest! Finally Clinton was able to turn that around some, but we were just starting the process. Buying back bonds is not a bad thing anyway... just as you are I can buy bonds at fair value, so can the government. Big deal? There's no "massive premium" to worry about... it's not like we have to pay them their 30 years interest if we buy it from them.

gee, I wonder what way to many is??????

I believe it was around 20 million children. In my book, 1 is "way too many".

Gee, it seems to me that the msft monopoly kinda made PC's cheap

How does that have anything to do w/ my statement that The PC and the Internet would be but fantasies if we lived in a pure Capitalism country.? My statement was pointed towards the fact that we would not have consumers to buy PC's if we relied on PURE Capitalism... there would only be the poor and the rich; few in between.

So you're telling me that most Republicans are NOT against Mexicans crossing the border into CA?? PLEASE! And yes, Unions are very stupid when it comes to economic principles of International trade, but that's because they are fighting for themselves, not the country as a whole. As I've said before, I'm not the biggest fan of labor unions, though I do appreciate their contribution... and I certainly see their value. Afterall, businesses are only concerned w/ profits, so maybe you should pass judgement on business' short-sightedness as well??
