Re: "the deficit was, within the range of sustainability, what anyone would have been running"

'ANYONE'????????????????

That's a bit of a silly assumption, ain't it?

I mean the President immediately preceding Bush did not.... Seems silly to say that no matter WHO we elected they would have ALL blow the deficit sky high. I highly doubt that the Iraq War would have happened (deficit financed) under any other leadership, or that Medicare part D (100% deficit-financed) would have either... and I *know* that Gore did not call for those higher-income tax cuts either. :-)
