Bruce, Sawz:

Your overheated rhetorical suasions are colorful, but they don't add anything to the conversation as far as comparing points of view goes. One reason is that you continuously take things out of context and then blow them up as an unsubtle form of mockery. Why should anyone continue such a conversation? I learned better than that back on the playground.

It is pretty clear that the current deficit is at least 50% the result of Bush intiatives to reduce Fedseral income and increase Federal spending; what is worse the increases in Federal spending were arguably much to the detriment of the nation. Another 45% of it is probably direct6ly attributable to the screaming emergencies left behind by the outgoing Bush genius team. That's a SWAG.

I am not sure what you wild-eyed right-siders believe Obama is trying to do but you sound to me as though you are sitting under a cloud of paranoid delusion fomented forpolitical gain by people who do not actually have your own interests at heart, or the nations. That's MY opinion.
