Mike, much of that extra spending is on defense; and the vast majority of libs I know detest it. Not only that, but taxes were lowered at the very same time that they (Republicans) were increasing spending.
Again, you can TAX and spend, or you can not tax and not spend; but you cannot spend without taxing. There is no surer way to complete economic disaster than spending without taxing.
The “rich” have been getting a free ride for far too long. They are the ones who benefit most from doing business in and with a country that has property (including IP) protections, rule of law, infrastructure, social safety nets (so they don’t have to live in fortresses and drive around in armored cars), etc. They should be paying a proportionate share.
