Yeah I understood. I had just remembered reading something about this being different. As G-man said it wasn't that we've never borrowed money during war time. After supper, with a bit of Googling I found that it was President Bush cutting taxes during a war. Since the Cival War taxes have always gone up when we're fighting another country. (except for Bosnia & Kosovo) I realize there are arguments that have been made that say that's a good thing. There are also good sounding arguments to cut taxes during times of bounty. We heard them in 2000.
