Not to mention DOD, which so far as I hear, is totally incapable of protecting our interests abroad without resorting to nuclear weaponry, but does seem to spend quite a bit of money in the process... > However, Reagan has demonstrated that he has the ability to lead > and to get a job done as he promises to do. As I interstand it, Reagan promised to eliminate the deficit in his first term. However, it is now more than double what it was when he took office, with the biggest increase yet slated for next year. He promised to eliminate it altogether; instead he kept it and added on as much again as he inherited. Yup, good job, Ron. Please, promise me something more. Andrew Shaw houx[a-z]!hou4b!ams
