Considering that Bush will borrow about $1 trillion in his first 4
years and plans to borrow another $1.5 trillion in his next term this
may be a problem. That's $2.5 trillion in future taxes someday plus
(at 5% interest) $125 billion per year until then to service the debt.
If we want to hire another million people, lets make the hard decisions
now and cut something or raise taxes.

If the dinosaurs had a space program, they'd still be here.
