re: The government isn't a business.

It sure is. You are sounding more liberal every day. I guess that's the Bush influence.

re: If the federal government doubles its revenue its just squeezing the economy harder. The government takes money that businesses generate. Taking too much does as much or even more harm then<sic> the deficits.

Businesses and people will pay back the Bush deficit. Higher taxes, every economist knows that's whats in the future. Do some reading on the subject.

Tell me where you think the money will come from? Debt is debt. Every dollar of deficit today will have to be paid back, WITH significant interest, by taxpayers. It's not if, it's when. And "when" is "when" the boomers retire.

The government isn't a business. If a business doubles its revenue its real growth. If the federal government doubles its revenue its just squeezing the economy harder.

That's not true......in a booming economy, corps. generate more taxable income which adds to federal coffers. Not a damn thing wrong with that.
