Where in the Sam Hill is all the money for all the recent War on Terrorism
measures supposed to come from? I suppose Gippernomic tax cuts will prompt
the revenue fairy to wave her magic wand and sprinkle a little pixie dust so

buckles" axe. IIRC after Clinton/Gore we were supposed to run a surplus. Fat
chance now!
