>The problem is deficits. You can substitute just about anything the Democrats want and argue for a "tax surcharge."

Well, yes. But when you're taking loans, you take loans for assets or things you can leverage. When a family member takes a loan, you might be happy if they buy real estate or a business with it. If they spend it on crack, then you're not so happy.

If we spend money on say, health care, we might net some money out of it (in the current system, the government pays more per capita than in other countries' systems), so it could be a net gain financially. And even if it's not, you're still saving lives. The war, on the other hand, is throwing money down a rathole to kill people.
