Cutbacks in one area means spending in another area - or saving, which isn't a bad idea either. That is, money doesn't disappear - unless it never existed in the first place. Now someone will say that we have to keep pumping up the economy because we have a giant military and national debt to pay off, and the interest alone would kill us if we cut back on federal spending ... So nobody moves to stop the advertisers because they are helping growing the economy and solving our problem. It's part of a vicious cycle. Bill > Michael J.
