I was not taking into consideration our national debt. If we did not have that and we could shrink government by 50% then we could live on 25% less.

If one reduces taxes (I assume here, you mean the net effective Federla ones), the federal deficit goes up faster, and the feds need to borrow more to fund its payment obligations. This sucks funds away from the private sector, who then need to 'outbid' the feds for business borrowing. Bidding up rates to but (here, rent the use of money) the use right of same asset sounds like price increases with no change in the underlying. That is asset price inflation I dont ses the causal link you are suggesting exists to cause a deflation. -- Russ herrold --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
