How can it come to a close when it never existed ?!!!
From yesterday's Wall Street Journal:
The good revenue news is that tax cuts are trimming federal receipts as a share of the economy, just as Mr. Bush promised during the 2000 campaign. In Bill Clinton's final year, the feds grabbed a post-World War II record 20.8% of GDP; in 2001, after tax cuts and amid recession, that share had fallen to 19.8%, and in 2002 it will fall to 18.8% before starting to climb slowly again as the economy grows and more Americans are driven into higher tax brackets. This means more of the economy remains in productive private hands.

This when we are in a recession and Bush is proposing the most massive military build-up in a generation.His original budget was on track to reduce the Fed take of GNP to around 15%.
