You are almost right. Congress spends money. The Prez approves the expenditures or vetoes them. So a clear majority of 535 people are in collusion with Dubya.
It would be obviously counter-productive to cut taxes, as long as the entire boat is on shore-leave. If people saw a real cut in spending, NOT a phoney cut in the "growth" of spending, the country would be in line with the idea.
But, you are right about one thing, we are in a fast moving boom economy, trying to outpace the inflation of the dollar. Soon all will collapse, unless major changes are made.
