Good post. I agree with alot of what you said. One thing I'm not sure about, though. Why do you say a consumption tax hits the poor more than the rich? I don't quite believe this.

1. Greenspan should get tough with Congress about a balanced budget. Glad to see he is finally doing this. He doesn't have that much ability to "get tough with Congress". 2. However, he should address the deficit spending due to the $450B military complex. More due to the $2tril. in non military spending. 6. Taxing everyone else because Bush doesn't know how to cut the deficit or because the boomers don't know how to save, simply doesn't get at the issue. Agreed. Tim
