>>I am going to let this go. You are one of the good guys here despite our profound disagreement about economics. My last comment (not trying to have the last word) is that you are looking only at the revenue side. The deficit skyrocketed under both Reagan and GWB. The chickens come home to roost one way or another.

>BTW, that piece from the NY Times was an op-ed piece, i.e. opinion. They run op-eds as well as regular columns
from across the political spectrum. William Safire was a columnist for many years and he wrote speeches for Richard Nixon.
Could you please provide a few links to op-ed pieces from notable anarchists, socialists, communists, greens, monarchists, and oddballs?
My guess is the width of the spectrum, as may have been measured by the sample, is about 50 degree Kelvin (by color temperature - recalculate into angstroms at will).
