Re: Two variables versus three
<It seems a big piggish to me that Bush insists on having his war budget and his tax cut.
That's been exactly my feeling on the whole thing.
Reducing spending isn't going to happen quickly (if at all) and somebody's got to pay the bills so the lights don't suddenly go out (metaphorically speaking). Tax cuts, when they go into effect will be felt immediatly however.
I think it reasonable to quit pushing the tax cuts and raise a big red flag anywhere that spending gets drastically increased. We are in war mode, why can't we act like it. Gone are the days when we need to ration meat, rubber, and steel. What's wrong with rationing tax cuts and spending instead?
