[2009 UPDATE: SITE HAS DISAPPEARED; SORRY] I just reduced the national deficit by almost half, and did so while raising spending in almost every important area, including both military spending, and education and social programs. I simply didn’t go to war in Iraq, and didn’t do Bush’s current tax plan.
