"Using the Reagan-Laffer method of calculation, this should work out just fine." Well, from Smirk's point of view, it will work out just fine. I don't know if he passed first grade math or not, but The Lying Weasel does know that if he takes care of his friends, they'll take care of him. And that is all he is worried about.

Cut taxes, increase spending, and pay off the debt. Any student who failed first grade math should be able to understand perfectly. Scumbria, you do realize that revenue can go up after taxes are cut right? Also while spending is planned to increase the plan is to increase it at a slower rate then it has been. This may not work politically but its not a simple issue of first grade math. You may or may not be right about your overall issue (that Bush will run deficits and that this will have a horrible effect on the economy), but either way you exaggerate anything that supports your case. You speak as if everything you say is a complete certainty and anyone who disagrees is a complete idiot. Then when someone does provide some evidence that your claims are exaggerated (like I did about your claims about the increase for missile defense compared to the increase for education) you just change the subject slightly and keep pounding away about all these idiots who disagree with you. Is this the way you normally discuss issues in person or do you save it for posts on the internet? Tim
