Saw this passage in the paper today: “In his first term, President Obama ran trillion-dollar deficits to jump start a weak economy.” Does anyone think less money would have been spent if the economy had been strong instead? Rather, those in Washington would likely have maintained spending, on the grounds that when the economy is growing the nation can afford to do more for citizens. Over spending is not a weak economy problem, it’s a too much government problem.
