Probabilities:

1.- incentives: 20 % (I think that it would be very possible... say for example give specific incentives in anything that it is exported, i.e. tax credits ) That way, the slide of the dollar would actually be welcomed AND most importantly, would help the trade deficit, not to mention possible additional payroll. (hence employment too )

2.- government size/pork barrel stuff: 20 % (if they really mean it)

3.- 2 % (the environment is really tough for that... but it would be feasible I believe) another idea is to use a random motivator amongst his most loyal aids for Saddam's head... [w.t.f..... yeah] -g

4.- 10 % (it would have to be clear and objective... a hard thing to accomplish amongst politicians)

5.- If they really mean it.... 100 % (it has been a proven money generator for the states) The problem has been, that no matter how much money they get... they ALWAYS manage to OVERSPEND and create bureaucracies that eat up the proceeds... so I suppose that this specific detail (size of government) falls under # 2

there.

-------------------

edit.... on # 1 export motivations... it could also help in the over-capacity argument and lower pirces of the item(s) produced/exported
