A long term approach to wealth building is the only way out. Those concerned about deficits need to know the only way out is to tax the gains of a powerful bull market that will rebuild the retirement capability of the investor class. If some one doesn't help the investor class regain some of the wealth they had prior to this bear market - they will find it VERY CROWDED at the government PIG TROUGH. Those riding on the government for a freebie don't know what ugly is, until they find someone in need who has been paying his way through their entire tax life and still needs help. Let's face facts here - the government gets out of deficit only until the investor/saver class gets back to healthy and dreaming of retiring early again. Those 4-6 percent unemployed got there checks last year and it didn't do much. Now let's just keep an open mind and let some assistance go to the backs of what makes this country great. As our ex Senator Phil Graham said "The Democrats want those riding on the wagon to live as good as those pulling the wagon". What Bush is saying "Keep the pullers healthy and the riders may keep going - let them get weak and there's gonna be a little ass kicking to get some riders off and start pulling also. I think the current approach is a healthy long term common sense approach - something that generally appeals to the average working schmuck and something that violently scares those with their hand out to the government wealth transfer system. I think its high time we get back to the mores that made us great and that isn't reimbursing those that didn't contribute in the first place. I know many won't like that - but that is honestly how I feel - I don't apologize for it and in fact it is that characteristic of the American worker that I try to emulate and am very proud of it. How about it !! Are there any EDDIES out there?? Bob
