I'm getting just a little tired of hearing about how the House is responsible for all money matters in the US government. It neither originates everything having to do with spending, nor does it have the final say in budget bills. Budget bills, like any other bills, must be approved by both houses and signed by the President (ignore pocket vetoe, etc) Is the Reagan syndrome (mouthing off on matters on which one is totally ignorant) contagious,s there an epidemic? Anyway, the deficit is a bipartisan effort. Senators and Congressmen and presidents just love to shovel the money toward their constituents. The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is a different constituency. How about Nobody for President? Or is that what we've had since Johnson? (over whom Nobody was a great improvement). -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!sa!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
