Not really. In one you are talking about tax cuts but don't mention spending increases. Message 16940027 In the other you do say "I would not increase spending until of the deficit principle is being paid down. " Message 16940109 Tim, to me its the same thing.......if you cut taxes, then you have to spend a greater proportion of your revenue which if not an outright increase in spending, its a proportional increase in the relationship between spending and the revenue you have to work with it. The bottom line for me is that if you want to do anything, you need to be paying back both principle and interest on the nation's debt. Even then, a purist fiscal conservative would not a allow an increase in spending and probably not a tax cut either. However, I am more practical and willing to compromise. <g> Man, how can you be up so late and still get thru work tomorrow? I need at least 7 and prefer 8 to survive the day. ted
