<<who will end up paying for this tax break for the rich>> It seems clear enough that the money for the tax break must be borrowed. It is most likely that we will borrow the money from people in foreign countries such as China. Ironic isn't it? We borrow money from relatively poor Chinese to give money to rich people in America -- and Bob can get away with saying that the money belonged to the rich people in the first place so it does not matter what is really going in in the real world. In the real world, people pay taxes to pay for services. Bob thinks the services are free. They are not. They must be paid for. By borrowing the money instead of paying taxes now, the tax and debt burden is transferred to our children -- what a great plan. Borrow from the Chinese and let our children owe them the money, plus interest, while pretending that it was "ours" to spend twice all along.

...paying for this tax break for the rich. Sorry, Al, that crap's been flushed already. ...republican party placing Clinton's private sexual experiences in the front pages... what shows lack of class is that I don't openly embrace the republican lies and their politically motivated personal vendettas. We got rid of Bob Barr last year - nobody cares about Bill Clinton anymore except for those trying desperately to "revise" his legacy so Hill can run in '08. BTW, don't forget your blood pressure meds. You're sounding a bit stressed. If the government is running a deficit is not your money. What are you trying not to say? Ahh, never mind - just keep your grubby paws out of my pockets.

If the government is running a deficit is not your money. Plain and simple. It is actually your grandchildren's money, who will end up paying for this tax break for the rich. not if it is up to rd. it will be everyone else's grandchildren that will support his and his family's lifestyle. our govt is set up to protect america from people that think just like rd. the french had to have a revolution to stop his mentality from ruling them. rd wants the people who own 70% of america to pay hardly any taxes at all and he wants everyone else to support that 70% of wealth ownership. but he seems to not want to simply say what his true beliefs are. instead he wants to discuss ethereal issue - not issues where the rubber hits the road.
