That can't be the answer to DeLong's point, because his point is that if you keep spending money, someone's going to have to pay for it. You're hypothesizing that the GOP answer is that we don't have to raise taxes because current rates will eventually be enough. Even so, someone in the future is paying for Bush spending today.
