Let's be clear, here. If *you* were *interested* in this, you would
have joined a thread discussing OR's plan 2 years or more ago when
it was first discussed. Or you would have posted to a more appropriate
newsgroup.

And you have no *plan*, you just have ill-formed opinions based
upon reading a few articles in the popular press (rather than professional
journals.)

I don't always agree with Jeff, but so far I'm on board with his criticism.

Yet he was re-elected after this was apparent. Shame on those who
voted for him the second time.

Of course not worthless. What true conservative would condone such
reckless deficit spending?

It's just amazing how ed our leadership has been. Mind-boggling
how Bush's policies were defended by the ignorant and the
short-sighted.

Well, that's just it, isn't it? "Peddle to the metal, until it's time
to stomp on the brakes." And those few of us who can *think* can only
watch in horror as it unfolds.

I watched both the Republican and Democratic primaries pretty carefully,
and the ONLY person running who made any statement about getting the
deficit under control and paying down the debt was Al Sharpton.

When Al Sharpton starts making more sense than anyone else on the ballot,
you know something is terribly, terribly wrong.

True, but then when the government goes bankrupt the welfare state
system that Al loves so much will go away also. Those who refuse to
work have the most to lose when the government goes away.
