The reason why things got done in the late 90's and we had a surplus is because the Congress was one party and the White House was another party, and they had to COMPROMISE. Thus the lunatics on both sides lost their vioces.

Yes, I do understand how the US government works, but I do not want a president sympathetic to such proposals, especially if the house should be won by Democrats in the 2006 off year election.
The president of the United States commands more PR power than anyone else in the world, and Kerry having a pulpit from which to preach his socialist agenda, especially in a narrowly divided America, could prove disasterous.
