The only way to carry a national debt is to outgrow it. The Clinton/Rubin deflation was brought about by bad economics by Rubin, and incompetence and apathy by Clinton. The Reagan Boom was created by tax cuts. Such history cannot be revised, even through the revisionist efforts of every Mrxist/Leninst anti-American in the nation.

We have a long term structural budget deficit which will not go down without suspension of the tax cuts. Bush has no credibility on this issue. He has consistently under estimated the size of the deficit which just keeps getting bigger. What we who oppose Bush have to realize is that they don't care. They have ideological issues that must be met and the country be damned. " Bolten would not concede a point that private budget experts have been making for months: Without significant budget cuts or tax increases, the deficit is now built into the fabric of the government's finances and is here to stay. This is typical Rep. NO SPEAK. They deny there is a problem As long as you deny a problem, your critics have no traction and you don't have to do anything. With every major issue in the past two years, that has been the typical GOP response. "We are truly in a structural deficit as it's usually defined, and this is not going to right itself," said Rudolph Penner, a Republican and former director of the Congressional Budget Office." Fortunately, some Reps. are beginning to break from the party ideologues. In many ways, they are our only hope.
