that's an excellent point, tippet. i mean, if it's ok to run huge deficits, why not just do away with ALL taxation (except tarrifs to protect steelworkers and ADM -g- ) and run the entire government on deficit?

i mean, WTF, if it's good enough for consumers...

-bg-

EDIT: did i say steel workers? i meant producers, steel producers...

The Fed can just print as much as they need, why bother taxing anybody

completely relevant to this discussion is the book I was reading while it was raining yesterday during my weekend in Charlevoix, Michigan. I've only read 100 pages, but so far it looks like it should be required reading for all who frequent the CFZ.
