Our government is spending more than they squeeze out of us, so Gorby helps us build the national debt more slowly, BFD! The only "Peace Dividend" possible are the billions we spend every year to pay interest on that monster. Pay of the debt _then_ you have a dividend (the old interest payments) that you can spend on something else. Until then, there isn't anything to spend. #endif -- --Chuck McManis Sun Microsystems uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
