In my experience, the great majority want to do both. whenever an action covers both ends, great! but often the interests are in conflict, like the primary topic for this thread, the deficit. The right thing is not to do it. But Americans are much happier getting all the extras this deficit spending produces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
