Lack of homeowner's insurance doesn't matter, either, on nearly every day you own your home. My policy has only mattered twice in the past 6000 days. If deficits truly don't matter, why are we paying taxes?

<Much as I detest Dick Cheney his comment a few years ago that "deficits don't matter" has been 100% on the mark these past few years. > Unfortunately just because deficites don't "seem" to matter at the time they are run up, it doesn't mean they don't. One has to take into account the changes to the overall 'conditions' that also occur by way of the run up. If those new conditions make some future event possible that wasn't before, then they do "matter". Not that anyone knows how to figure all that out! :)) DAK
