the problem with this attitude is that the bible belt states, the south and other republican enclaves don't pay for anything. The coastal states are where all the GDP and taxes come from to pay for these military strikes.

So make your case, mr "love it or leave it", as to why wars like this should be paid for by states where Bush's policies are unpopular. Ohio and Idaho can't finance anything themselves.

Re: "...The US has had to borrow more over the past 2 years due to...)

>>> How do the farm price supports and the steel tariff/tax and other corporate welfare pork fests factor into your calculations?

>>> You ARE aware, aren't you, that discressionary spending is running at TWICE the annual rate Clinton posted, during this Bush administration? (And, contrary to assertions, increased military spending - which was only approved in October of last year - and '9-11 expenses' account for far less than 50% of the increased spending so far.)

>>> Bush is spending like a drunken sailor on the last day of port call. He is over-spending like our last Texas President: LBJ.
