[Non-Sequitur]

The spending document projects that the deficit will hit a record $427 billion this year, the third straight year that the red ink in dollar terms has set a record. Bush projects that the deficit will fall to $390 billion in 2006 and gradually decline to $233 billion in 2009 and $207 billion in 2010.

Those figures don't include the $80 billion Bush wants for Iraq, the cost of making the tax cuts permanent, or the cost of allowing for private accounts for Social Security. So I wonder what the defecits really will be? How how really meaningless these supposed cuts actually are.

There is no "cost" to tax cuts. First off, tax cuts spur growth which increases revenue. During Reagan's 8 years every tax cut resulted in a revenue increase.

Secondly, it's OUR damn money.
