Or try to lower taxes and stimulate the economy?Oh, fer cryin' out...
OK, I'll concede we need to lower taxes to stimulate/exercise the economy. (Of course, if you don't have a job it ain't going to matter much). Now to pay for this tax cut let's also cut some fat from the federal government. Hmmm, how about Homeland Security to start? No, OK, TSA? No, the military? No? Social Security, Medicare, Medicade and everything else? Yeah that's the ticket (to lose 2004 that is).

You're assuming that a "tax cut" actually lowers revenues, like a good liberal.

We either get freedom to make our own choices and suffer our own mistakes (or hard luck), OR we get to be taken care of by the government. We don't get it both ways. I am suffering from the down economy too, just not as much as the Salters. Why should the government forcibly take money from me and give it to them? I've been financially more responsible than they have.

We can cut out $1 million in funding for the "endangered flies"(didn't even know they existed until recently). There is much more stupid crap they can cut also.
