an end to deficit spending anxiety

I also just found out that wustl is giving me my "powerbook" (subsidized) loan money tomorrow, and also that Apple has credited me the $145 tax from buying it during tax holiday! That's very nice indeed... for a while there really I was spending like the Bush administration. Well, not that much. Maybe if I'd bought a dual g5 and a 30in display in addition to the powerbook (or several), without a need for any of them or any prospect of ever being able to pay them off.
