"My assumptions are that all the candidates will stop the Bush tax cuts and also raise taxes on the top brackets because that's what they've said they'll do. That's OK with me and I'm willing to trust that it will be done judiciously with all attempts made to not gut the economy.

I'll also vote under the assumption that they mean what they say about 'pay-go' and any new spending programs won't add to the debt, i.e. they will be paid for."

LOL - well if read the news you know paygo is gone and the earmarks were everywhere! To believe democrats are fiscally responsible is to simply hate Bush to the point of blindness.

It is true that Clinton had balanced bugets - that even surprised him - due to the internet bubble and divided government. Slick was also for NAFTA and GATT. He would find himself lonely with these positions in today's Dem party.

Sadly I think the best answer is divided government. Neither party can be trusted with sole possession of the keys to the kingdom.
