Ideological orthodoxy such as “The rich don’t pay their fair share”? You and Harvy have been yammering on about that for weeks now without ever bothering to admit that the real problem is the spending that has been out of control for decades, and has ramped up considerably since 2008. The two of you have absolutely no flexibility unless Obama tells you to.[/quote]
That’s not exactly true. Spending ramped up considerably in the fiscal year beginning in 2008. But since then, it has remained at elevated levels, but the rate of increase is the lowest in the last 5 administrations, save for the Clinton administration.
