Ike never considered himself a conservative. He thought of himself as "a modern Republican". And more revenue did in fact decrease the deficit, according to the Congressional Budget Office.--Mark
"Ike never considered himself a conservative."
Neither did JFK, but compared to today's crop....
"And more revenue did in fact decrease the deficit, according to the Congressional Budget Office.--"

There's no excuse for "conservatives" advocating a larger and more powerful central government. NONE.
