By the way, Cashman, in that you've avoided coming up with any meaningful response to the analysis I posted, I'll assume that none of the numbers you might have considered refuted my conclusions. But at least can you tell me how my conclusion that cutting federal spending cannot possibly result in a balanced budget and the repayent of any of our national debt, and that it's almost certain that taxes will have to be raised to achieve those objectives is a "Liberal waste of time"?

I thought that conservative ideology was based on the idea that "fiscal conservatism is the economic philosophy of prudence in government spending and debt."

So can you explain to me how my conclusion that in order to begin to have the U.S. live within its means and repay its debt that spending must be dramatically cut and taxes raised is a "Liberal" idea?

I'll wait.
