And since we are already in deficit spending, it all goes to the federal "bottom line", in addition to the subsequent interest payments for the length of the bonds that must be sold. That same statement applies to every penny the government spends for anything. Would you like specific separate invoces to each taxpayer for there share of each federal project or program? Tim

I would like to see an incremental war tax. Now that Tim Fowler mentioned it, I would like to see an incremental "Big Dig" tax. And an incremental "EITC" tax. How about an incremental "Bob Byrd Pork Tax". While you complain about spending 87B to provide for our future safety and free the people of Iraq and bring peace to the Middle East, you haven't said one word about Teddy Kennedy's $13B expenditure to make traffic better in Boston or the 30-40B/year we give to people who don't work through the EITC.
