Is that available on the Net. I haven't been able to find it on
Google. I have concerns about the definition of "shortfalls in
spending" before I can say it refutes or is authoritative.

Actually, you've refuted it with one sentence cut & pasted from *one*
report that *you* say is unbiased and authoritative, that is not
available for anyone else to read.

> You're very biased Dan.

Me ? Is that your version of the pot ? I'd call it biased for you to
dismiss the Heritage Foundation strictly based on where it's from.

You didn't cite any content, or why you think it was biased, it was just
dismissed because of where it came from.

Your right Navas, I concede, you are the all-knowing, all-seeing trash
heap.
