Amy, It's interesting to see people's opinions with regard to taxes and the deficit: pollingreport.com If ordinary people take the deficit so seriously, why did most of them vote for Bush? John

Amy, Carter's years were very responsible years, they didn't pass their massive debt to the next generation. Carter's years were marked with double-digit inflation, economic recession, and a general pessimism about America's stature in the world. If this is a good thing because it supposedly set the foundation for Reagan's prosperity, then the excesses of Clinton's second term should be considered a bad thing because it left Dubya with a real mess to clean up.

My generation has ZERO representation in Congress. We are a large population that is being unheard by Congress.) What does it say to you that the youngest voters have the weakest election participation? So sure, from your perspective you thought it was hard because you didn't dump your issues onto the next generation (since you lived Carter's years). From my perspective, I don't carry the debt of the people that lived Carter's years because they were a heck of a lot less selfish than today's debt ridden congressional leaders. Do you remember bush's answer to woodward's question, regarding how future generations will judge his actions in iraq? He said, "we won't know, we'll all be dead"...in the idiocy of his answer lies a broad message..."who cares". The president and his followers don't give a darn about the future needs of your generation anymore than they do about the under priviledged from this one. Al
