If we want to be at war, we ought to want to pay for it. Let's not forget how we got into this mess. Things were looking pretty good in 1999.

We couldn't do THAT! Why, we wouldn't be able to use the tax code to shape and direct social policy, or to reward our political benefactors. How could we possibly let our politicians use tax money to launder political contributions if we did THAT!
And, if you think we looked good in 1999, do you also pay your Master Card with your Visa?
