where's all our tax dollars going?
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=568&e=3&u=/nm/20040203/bs_nm/budget_dc
"The White House still expects the budget shortfall to total $1.35 trillion through 2009 and government debt to rise from $8.1 trillion to $10.5 trillion, prompting warnings from Democrats that chronic deficits would crowd out private investment, drive up interest rates and slow economic growth. "We went through a recession, we were attacked and we're fighting a war. These are high hurdles for a budget and for a country to overcome and yet we've overcome them," Bush said of his budget, which would cut funding for about half of the 15 Cabinet-level agencies. " 2009???? when i hear stuuf like that, it makes me laugh. They can't even predict the next 3 months, nevermind the next 5 years. Sometimes I think our government is dangerous and out of control....

Looks like pretty soon, all our tax dollars will be going into interest payments to the banks that loan money to the government...I`d rather buy a second house, personally.

Second House? Things are really bad, eh. As long as I don't look out the window and see an airliner filled with screaming people and jet fuel crashing into my building, and as long as I can watch the chaos and mayhem occuring 1/2 a world away instead of see it on my street, there is no deficit.
