Has anyone expressed any concern about the size of the deficit this all portends, or is this thread supply side central and/or deficits don't matter no matter how large city?

The WH is supply-side central. That's all that matters.

Only in good economic times do we have an opportunity to have surpluses. Bush has asked for Draconian holds on spending increases, and maybe they'll pass in Congress, but I doubt it.

If we can get oil to about $20/barrel and pass his $670B tax plan, the economy will be sizzling in 2004 and the deficit won't matter.

Deficits are actually good ! They keep a check on spending better than anything. If we didn't have deficits in the 80's the Rats would have spent 500 Billion more !
