"a $500 budget deficit is nothing." >>> LOL! Really? >>> First: Bush DOUBLES the rate of discressionary spending that existed under Clinton. <More Big Government for everyone>. >>> Next, he reduces some marginal tax rates (good), but fails to reduce or eliminate ANY of the tax loopholes or 'special tax preference items'... in fact, he INCREASES subsidies and tariffs, while doing NOTHING to reform our corrupt and unbalanced tax system. >>> Now, we've got massive deficits for the foreseeable future --- and even the President's own hand-picked private economics forecasting firm sees no return to prudence or balance. Their conclusion (which agrees in the main with the OMB study) said that the GOOD achieved by ALL of his tax cuts would be obliterated within the decade by the extra spending and the rise of interest costs on the debt. >>> Pardon me... but I fail to see anything particularly useful that he has achieved for our economy.
