Re: "The better solutions involve sacrificing a lot of sacred cows..."

>>> You hit the nail right on the head!

Re: "... and that may have to wait until after '04"

>>> That's what they've been intimating... but Reagan's folks said the same thing about 'wait for the second term' only, by then, failures to control deficit spending had greatly reduced the available options... and the political will. (Remember the 'veto wait' early in Reagan's first? 'When will he veto a bloated spending bill?')

>>> Poor, un-telegenic Forbes made the best run at it later... but was out-gunned by the establishmentarians and the 'crony capitalists'.

>>> Bush is trading wasteful spending for electoral votes as well (where are the vetoes?)
