"You rather ignore the effects to come from the deficits, don't you?" There are a few reasons why I do this. The primary one is that Kenny's post insinuates it is Bush's fault that these people don't make as much money as he does. That means it is something that Bush has already caused. Are you suggesting the rising deficit is why some people currently don't make as much as Kenny feels they should? I doubt it. The secondary reason is that I am not all freaked out by the deficit anyway. I am almost positive the deficit has not caused these individual situations (unlike you?). And I am almost positive also that our country is robust and prosperous enough to handle the deficit. As a % of GDP I don't think it is even at a historical high. Our country can afford to carry some debt. Thirdly, I think that TERRORISTS attacking our country on 9-11-01 has more to do with our debt than Bush's policies in general. And I would rather be alive, and have my children be alive than to have America debt free. When other attacks happened by us "saving money" on defense, we will be in a worse pickle than we are now. Besides, your 13% flat tax (the one that lowers the income tax on the wealthiest by 20+%) like the Russians have should solve everything, right? LOL
