I'm not opposed to modest deficit spending in those times either -- but an order of magnitude less than what we've seen.

Agreed.

Originally posted by Sidd Finch I just don't understand how you can so firmly insist that the sole cause of deficits is increased spending, not decreased revenues from tax cuts. The figures that Burger and I cited demonstrate quite clearly that this is not the case, as does the experience of the only administration to achieve a budget surplus in recent decades.

Because I believe that the level of revenues is more than sufficient to take care of all of our collective needs if only the government would show a modicum of restraint on pork - and yes, the GOP is to blame for the current state of affairs because it is entirely out of control on spending.
