Does money grow on trees in your parts, Rob? It doesn't in Washington (see link below). Where do you think all this money is going to come from? Maybe after the fairies and elves get done installing your fiber to the home broadband connection 100Mbps for only $19.95, they will build NASA a space vehicle that doesn't explode frequently and costs less than $500M per launch?
http://tinyurl.com/58yr Scheduled for release on Monday, Bush's budget blueprint will estimate the deficit for fiscal 2003 at $307 billion, surpassing a 1992 record of $290 billion. The shortfall in 2004 will ease to $304 billion and continue to improve, though the federal government will still rack up a cumulative deficit over the next five years, administration officials said. Bush's deficit figures do not include the cost of a possible war with Iraq, which officials say could add at least $61 billion -- the amount expended on the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites) -- to the projected shortfall this year alone. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
