from Iraq asap and then as soon as the Dems take over the house in 2006 - the whole 'starve the beast' could be reversed. Taxes could pay for this war. The rich have to sacrifice something. The whole world uses US currency and that gives the US a free pass to be in debt. But spread that luck around. Let a fuller employment policy be the norm. And the rich can help fight inflation with mild stock market recessions every 5 years. Then everyone is doing their part.
Right now - BUsh is throwing everything at the stock-market in one-time bumps. And going into debt. And starving the middle class purposefully. This is a subsidy to the rich.
If the USA benefits from being world currency and will for 50 years..share that 'free pass on debt' with everyone in the country.
