The deficit is a result of *both* taxes and spending. > David Canzi But he didn't say that the deficit is not caused by taxes; he said it is not caused by *low* taxes. I think that that is exactly what he meant. A great problem with Mondale and his Congressional ilk is that they firmly believe that taxes are *too low*. That they only proper way to reduce the deficit is to tax, tax and tax again; the same solution to problems that was unsuccessfully tried 1964-1980. We are already greatly overtaxed. Think about Mondale's solo. to the deficit problem for a minute and you can see that it can be summed up in one sentence: The reason for the deficit is that you are undertaxed! One reason for Reagan's Tuesday Rompin' is that there are plenty of people who understand that that is what Mondale is saying. Reagan has got it right: The reason for the deficit is not that you are undertaxed, but that the government is overfed! sdcrdcf!alan
