Lane3; When Bush is gone and they're the ones proposing budgets, I would expect a return to tax and spend. Yes you are correct if democrats win both houses and have the presidents chair there will be a real incentive to spend on stuff the democrats want and haven't had in the last eight years. It could be a real problem - especially if you listen to the laundry list of goodies Clinton has proposed - remember the Christmas presents commercial. Especially as it looks like next president will get a sick economy. One of my fears of Clinton. steve

>>I'm not sure this belated Democratic fiscal restraint is any more than another way to bash Bush. When Bush is gone and they're the ones proposing budgets, I would expect a return to tax and spend. What makes you think otherwise?<< Lane - I'd rather see a return to "tax and spend" than a continuation of the current mode, "borrow and spend". - Allen
