Tenchu, I am not sure if it is an oxymoron. It is just a strategy. Like Republican strategy of cutting taxes, leaving little room for spending increases, rasing taxes to releave pressure to cut spending, and make room or future spending increases. When it comes to the tax increases, the Dems would "target" them at small enough fraction of the taxpayers to limit the outrage, and to be able to go to vast groups of people and say "we didn't raise your taxes" Like I said in my other post, Democrats want the constituency for fiscal stability to be as small as possible, so that it would lose every fight, the sad thing is some Republicans, namely Reagan and Bush helped Democrats by shrinking the number of people who have a stake in fiscal responsibility and frugality. Anyway, I am not sure if John shares the nefarious intentions of the Dems, and since I don't, I have to assume he does not, and genuinely thinks it would be a good method to cut spending. Joe
