Fred Thompson Hits the Nail

Earlier yesterday I was blogging and tried to make the point that a decrease in revenues as the result of a tax cut isn't necessarily a bad thing.

In tonight's GOP debate centered around the economy, I looked for a candidate to utter similar words. That candidate was Fred Thompson.

Although he seemed to struggle in the beginning, he spoke to exactly what I had written just a few hours beforehand.

He talked about how we shouldn't confuse the "wealth of government" and the wealth of nations. That the government getting less money means there is more in "our pockets".
