Not wrong. It is generally a good idea to know what you are talking about before you claim something is wrong. It is also a good idea to read and think a bit before you call something wrong. Do you have any clue at all? Do you know how many out of the last 30 years the US ran a budget surplus? Do you know how many of Clinton's 8 years the government ran a budget surplus? > So despite all his previous actions you cling to a desperate hope that > Bush will do something you approve of and is fiscally responsible? So, despite all your previous failures to oppose Bush, you cling to a desperate hope that aimless, ignorant whining will have any affect on what happens? -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
