Well, what loral!rfs (> >) forgot to mention, and what conrad (>) seems to be ignoring, is that Mondale wants to raise taxes and Reagan doesn't because Reagan has magic arithmetic that Mondale doesn't. You see, Conrad, it isn't really NECESSARY to raise our taxes; Reagan can increase defense spending, cut taxes, and balance the budget (including servicing the existing debt) all at once. Just look at Reagan's success so far. He got his tax cut, he got some of his defense increases, and managed to do it all and get a massive increase in the deficit at the same time. (What? Huh? You say a deficit is negative? Like a debt? Oh, geez, that's terrible...hey, don't tell Mr. Reagan. You didn't? Oh, OK then...yeah, just let him dream on...) Seriously (barely), when are you thick-headed conservatives going to wake up to the fact that if you spend more dollars than you got, you go into debt? Arithmetic doesn't start working backwards when you go over a billion, and dollars spent on defense don't count as income. -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Simpler is better.
