Is that the Raygun who quadrupled the debt and tripled the deficit? He's quite an authority on unbalanced budgets in Washington. Nobody did it better. Nothing like hands-on experience to createa reputation as an intellectual authority. If you get it right often enuf, people in public office even begin to espouse your teachings... "Reagan proved deficits don't matter." Dick Cheney crooksandliars.com Mostly what you should take away from the first quote is this.. when Reagan says "We've long thought that..", you should think, "That's only off by 180 degrees". "Man is not free unless government is limited." Why does you think the philosophical drivel spouted by libertarians longing for the world of Davy Crockett is good for anything other than fertilizing pastures? Man is not free until he can free himself. You'll never get there, but this might be the place to start. ipminternational.org "A government expands, liberty contracts." Mostly that has come to mean that privileged white male liberty has shrink while everybody else's liberties have expanded. It might also mean your liberty to dump oil in my creek has shrunk, while my liberty to have a clean one has expanded. Don't worry about it. Either way, there are several winners for every one of you sad sacks bemoaning your "lost liberties". However, I will concede that government is currently trying to expand enuf to deny women the liberty of the uterus.
