So you're a deflation bug too? We'd all like to tolerate you, but the Great Depression your lunacy would cause might "win 40 House seats" for Farmer Gephardt...

Yes, part of the mess here is caused by the same issue of overspending. If the recallers have a single item that will resonate, they should move from the energy issue to the spending issue, I believe. Sorry, didn't realize you were from the NW. Hope you weren't bored with my retelling of recent history.<g> Although I was never a proponent of Gingrich, the one thing he brought was a fervor for cutting spending. I also think it was Clinton's greatest triumph, to take that fervor, distill out some of the hateful and childish elements, and turn it into a budget that generate surpluses. Yes, conservatives love to ignore Clinton's strong sense of fiscal responsibility. That's supposed to be their area of expertise. <g> Hopefully, in the next boom, we'll remember to not assume that it will last forever. But, we seemed doomed to forget... Part of the problem is that this latest boom lasted [for OR]nearly 20 years. Memories don't run that long. <g>
