Lines: 16 The great theorist explains all again. Phooey, Sevener, you seem to have Tip O'neil's party line rhetoric down pat. First, supply side economics DOES depend on consumer spending, not the savings rate. Second, when are you going to admit that social spending far outweighs military spending? Who has consistently pushed greater and greater social spending? The House of Representatives, that's who. Who controls the House. Tip O'spendit, that's who. I don't know about some folks, but over the past four years, I have been making more, spending more, and saving more percentagewise than ever before. Perhaps it could be that I tore up those damn credit cards and can now spend real money. I have a feeling that if more people did the same, they would be in better shape too. T. C. Wheeler
