And there is also a constituency for not raising taxes.

Yes, that's supposed to be the GOP.

Not exactly. That's the constituency that the GOP is responsive to. But the constituency is not the same thing as the GOP.

I know......please not the word 'supposed' in my statement......its the operative word.

You can't have it both ways and you can't say an expanding economy will pick up the slack when it hasn't done so to date.

It has again and again made up the slack from tax cuts. The problem is that spending has been increasing faster then the economy is growing.

Bull.........spending has not increased by a 1/2 trillion dollars. That's how much the deficit will be next year.

"If spending doesn't grow at all and the current growth rate continues then the deficit goes away in a few years."

Right now, the Office of M and B is predicting deficits to 2008 and beyond.

Notice the first part of my sentence starting with "if".

You can't avoid the "if"; the Iraqi war made sure of that.
