Nice article on "balanced" budget in Barron's today. Also, on Clinton denying reappointment of Greenspan over his opposition to Clinton's budget schemes.

"I used to like Tom Hanks and Spielberg, until I found out they were left-wing wackos who support obstruction of justice and perjury."; Gee; maybe they are supporting some other HIGHER principles such as civil rights and the abuse of power Ken Starr has exhibited. I suppose you think that anyone that was against McCarthy was just an anti-American Communist. There were many other good reasons to be against McCathy and they could be explained as pro-American. Ken Starr has demonstrated the danger of an unlimited prosecutor out of control. The independent council law is dead because of Ken Starr. I guess that was his best achievement; be so outrageous that the law is killed. It is a bad law and I'm glad to see it go. It is an unconstitutional setup IMO. We are left though with some uncertainty as to how really bizarre things like Iran Contra can be exposed and dealt with. Nothing has been as bad as Iran Contra as a model for the potential for real treason and anti-Constitutional behavior. The fact is that in Iran Contra, the principle was wrong, but the motives were not un-American and so that is why it got swept under the carpet. Had it been bad motives; heads really would have rolled. (BTW; I've noticed that posting messages on this site isn't working every time. Has anyone else noticed the Zero Sum error on occasion?)
