>They tell us if we were a country economically we would be fifth in the world. Anyone want a 35 billion dollar deficit? How do you resolve a deficit of that amount? Just simply tax each of our 35 million residents $1000. The problem is solved. Better give $2000 per person, as I am sure the State Government will know how to spend it. :)

Better than a $6+ trillion defict we now have at the Fed level. What is the difference between a Republican and a Democrat? They will both spend every dime in the treasury [and then some], but the Republicans will tell you they feel bad about it.
