more flaming politics

Greg "Uhhh Jeff, it has been proven time and time again that if you cut
taxes the government makes more money!"

Greg,  Thanks for the Uhhh and the exclamation point.  If you had said
'fuck' your point maybe this logic would have a chance of getting into my
closed mind.

It is truly amazing that this Reagan fallacy (aka Voodoo Economics) survives
in spite of the fact that it is even more false now than it was in 1980.  If
you cut taxes and increase spending (ala Reagan-Bush) you increase the
deficit and the national debt.  If you increase deficit and debt, you raise
unemployment and interest rates.  It happened 1980-1992.

Clinton was no liberal, at least as the L-word has been bastardized.  He
eliminated the deficit and backed welfare reform, you don't get much more
conservative than that.  He inherited unfathonable debt and fiscal shit.  He
dealt with it without blaming his predecessors.  GW blamed his predecessor
for a minor economic slowdown before he set foot in DC - not the picture of
responsiblity.

BTW - Bill Clinton is gone.  Stop fighting against the man.  And please stop
making it so Clinton-personal.  Political discourse  should be about
relevant actions and policy, not a man's friends or his dick.

"But, Mr. Bush,  bring on the tax cuts!!!!  And shut down some government
departments too please, like Education, Labor, Energy (we haven't had an
energy policy in years anyway!), Social Security, DEA, EPA,...........(too
many more to list)!"

That's more like it, thank you.  He will try.  I only hope my Senators
(Kennedy & Kerry) can effectively fight these bad ideas.

The up side is that the Libertarian movement has no future.  There is no
corporate support for the philosophy.  No corporate support = no political
future.

Thomas Jefferson is dead too.  He was no saint.  A slave owner and an
elitist who had a way with words.
