>> David, do you believe in a balanced budget? I don't think it important so long as there are not systemic problems which will result in a chronically increasing national debt. Unfortunately, both SS and Medicare create such a systemic problem. I think the deficits of the last few years are literally immaterial in amount. They just don't matter. I think the cost of the war doesn't matter, either. What we're accomplishing in the Middle East will more than return the investment over there. When these countries become democracies the trade possibilities are amazing. Over a 50 year period a few hundred billion will seem like $24 worth of trinkets.
