i think it's getting harder and harder for kerry to run against bush on the economy... if you don't credit the tax cuts for the strong resurgence in the past year then at least you can agree that it hasn't brought on the disaster some predicted it would.
one of these days though... the politicians are going to have to face the music. we can't live on credit forever... and unless we face that fact and take a hit in our cost-of-living for a while, we are certain to have a dramatic crash. neither one of the party's want to tackle the issue because they know they'll get shredded if they let the economy dip on their watch.
keep feeding the monster... don't think about what it'll eat next after you run out of food to give it.
