Many, if not mo$t of the "$pecial intere$t" type$ are of the "inve$tor cla$$." Why el$e would the dem$ ki$$ up to your a$$? Who cares? I was reacting to your false assumption that I have something to lose because the middle class gets routed in the US. We all have something to lose, of course but that is in the long term. In the short term the upper 15% of US citizens are partying it up, thanks to Bushonomics. There are some people in the world who will do just about anything to see a $100 tax cut, I am not one of those people, but you seem to think that is the motivator for anyone who doesn't support Bush, very naive imho. The democrats had a Budget, Bush has a budget. Both are beholden to $pecial interest$ $$$$$ ok? The difference between the dems at least recently and Bush, is that Bush has no idea how to 1) balance a checkbook, 2) project macroeconomic events affecting the economy into future revenue streams so that numbers actually add up, 3) make reasonable aggreements with other nations so that the US doesn't wind up on the short end of the stick with virtually every international agreement (war, trade etc). $o that$ the way it i$. CONCORD COALITION RELEASES REPORT ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY: "DEFICITS, DECEPTION AND DENIAL RATE A FAILING GRADE" concordcoalition.org CONCORD COALITION WARNS THAT NEW CBO PROJECTIONS CONFIRM THE NEED FOR TOUGH CHOICES concordcoalition.org CONCORD COALITION SAYS NEW CBO LETTER CONFIRMS THAT TOUGH CHOICES ARE NEEDED TO AVOID PERMANENT DEFICITS concordcoalition.org This letter is very significant because it demonstrates that even with the strong economic recovery assumed by CBO and the tight discretionary spending restraint assumed in the President’s budget, deficits over the next 10 years are likely to average $439 billion a year while debt held by the public grows from 37 percent of GDP today to over 47 percent by 2013. We are not facing a temporary deficit that will go away as the economy picks up. We are back to facing endless deficits.
