   No, the money will not come from taxpayers.  Bush is running a   
   deficit.  He's borrowing it to give to you.  So you are taking out a   
   loan to pay for your high-def TV.  It's your grandkids that will pay   
   for it.   
      
   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++   
      
   That old trick worked for many years and lots of people still assuade their   
   guilt by sticking to that tired canard, that THEY won't pay for it but   
   rather *their grandkids* will.   
   (its called: kicking the can down the road)   
   HA!   
   (well, if I don't have any grandkids does that mean I get off scotfree?)   
   Its been made very clear, so even elementary school kids understand, that   
   the gig is up.   
   You can't run in the red continuously and the money men are wise to this.   
   In other words, the politicians have fucked the golden goose one time too   
   many and now its cooked - from the inside out, from the top to the bottom.   
   The note will come due around 18 months from right now.   
   Mark your calendar, and stock up on ammo........   
      
   con't.
