[Ha!! more wishful thinking ] A copy of his text was made available in Washington. Greenspan said that cutting the U.S. budget deficit, which has hit record levels in dollar terms, would be the most effective U.S. policy response to help rein in the record shortfall in the U.S. current account, a broad measure of American trade with the rest of the world.

It's only money! Still plenty of trees, and we know no one is worried about cutting any of them down. Plus, as long as the Asians are willing to send us their slave-labor "stuff" in exchange for ground up worthless trees with green pictures on them, and Americans are willing to buy that stuff with these same worthless trees (only now, their trees don't have green pictures, but instead all say IOU but not until 2-3 years from now), I suppose our beloved Congress (public servants) can run the debt ceiling to a quadrillion, sextillion (Bill Clinton's favorite number), nonillion (George Bush's favorite number), undecillion (John Kerry's favorite number), sexdecillion (Bill O'Reilly's favorite number), vigintillion (horny, learning disabled's favorite number), unvigintillion (learning disabled Wilt Chamberlain's favorite number), duovigintillion (learning disabled Howard Stern's favorite number), octovigintillion (learning disabled sea creature's favorite number), and finally, the googolplex (the American, new-era stock market investor's favorite number). I remain, SOROS
