But Bush is a republican with a republican congress which means we have a defacto "waste in government" police. Waste should at least remain at a steady state between now and the next 6 mos, right? Remember, I am not saying we should have a balanced budget based on your claims that offshoring jobs balances out against US corps paying more taxes. All I am saying is, if what you say is true, that in an increasing offshore labor environment, deficits should decline from current excluding the iraq costs. Seems to me if you really believed the ideology you spew, you would take this wager (for nothing, just an "I told you so" at stake here). We both know that offshoring half of corporate america will kill the budget and in order to grow earnings to the required break-even point, we would have to sell like mad to the ROW, and most of those countries have TARIFFS on the same US tech products that the offshore labor produces. India for example. We need a labor leader to deal with the matter and instead we have two total losers in Chow and Snow, who spout ideology just like your diatribe here. Clark, Kerry, Dean or Gephardt is going to have his work cut out for him on the budget. First thing, cut the visas I'd say. Then tariff the foreign goods if the opposite market is not open to our goods. Japan redux is what this is.
