I think that's completely stupid at this point.

Lowering taxes and decreasing regs at this point will serve no purpose
except ruining what's left of the environment

How? why?

For example, fewer dollars for environmental cleanup, prevention, etc.

and increasing the wealth of
the already obscenely wealthy.

Riiiight. I hear this all the time from the local left wing whackos
too. They'd rather have high theoretical tax rates on the 1% of rich
people, all of whom employ accountants to get out of paying it, than
give up their politics of envy and stop attempting futile confiscatory
tax rates. All that ends up happening is the salaried middle class gets
hit with the high tax rates, not the rich - unless you define 'rich' as
anyone earning more than you do.

Huh? Are you saying that the middle and lower classes should be taxed at a
higher rate then the richies?

You need to stop ranting against liberals and start thinking.

Many valuable and effective programs have
been cut, all in the name of the war in Iraq. It would be far smarter to
figure out a better way to deal with that problem.

Yep. However California is a wonderful example of how not to go about
it, from where I sit. Energy in particular, you guys have some of the
most spectacular screwups around. You want your cake - abundant energy
- but you want someone else to pick up the environmental cost. There's
a word for that, starts with h........

Never claimed Cal was. What's your point? I have a very nice solar panel
system that insulates us from huge electic costs now and in the future.

Of course, that idiot and
his buddies in the White House don't have a clue. Bush should be
impeached
for his fiscal irresponsibility alone.

Always easy to blame someone else. Even when true, as in this case, it
doesn't actually address the problems, Jon. Might make you feel better,
but it doesn't address the problems. Repeat as needed.

Bushco is totally to blame for the current fiscal nightmare. Getting rid of
him and his bunk buddies would be a good first step. In fact, it's one of
the first essential steps.

Now, do you want to feel better because you have someone to blame, or
do you want to attempt to deal with the issues?

See previous. Impeach Bush, get us back on fiscally responsible behavior.
