We could ask Bill Clinton and the GOP Congress. But take away the burgeoning economy, it gets trickier. Oh, and the bailout isn't a precedent. It's been done before.

Oh yes the evil company Cheney was on. Their stock price dropped $3 today to about $20. It was $52 last June. Nov 2004 after the election, the shares were going at just under $20. If you cashed in last June, you did ok. But other than that, you tell me how Haliburton has been doing. Betcha Cheney sold HIGH!

Just when I thought your dunce cap was coming off you go and say a thing like this...........BILLIONS AND BILLIONS HAVE BEEN pumped into that evil company. You really think the bulk of it went to shareholders? PUT THE HAT BACK ON.

I guess this goes out to everyone debating budget issues. The bailout has set a bad precedent IMO, but I curious to hear what people think would be a 'good' national budget. There are major places that spending can be reduced and there are some social programs that for all good intentions don't work. The Bailout was stupid and politicians are trying to save their own ass by putting it in place. It's not much more that hush money but it will come out who got kickbacks. You will all be shocked Cut spending, gut the IRS and change to a national sales tax system. Charge people based on what they spend not what they make and get them back to work. A good national budget would be 3% below the 2006 budget and change it 1% a year till we are 12 # below 2006

But I am still curious to hear what 'a sane budget' means to you.

Joe McDonalds spends all of his 15,000 dollars a year so will be taxed on 100% of his salary. Joe CEO makes 9 million and only spends 3 million so he pays taxes on 33% of his salary
