Unfortunately I'm not sure #4 is always a viable option. #1 I'm not sure how you actually do, again the last time our economy was "strong" turned out to be mostly a sham of illegal accounting tricks.
2 & 3 I agree on, and we can certainly have this conversation.
But we've got you and others going "the deficit is okay", and that's where I think Jim and myself and others have a big problem.
