[quote=SK in CV]The US has never avoided a recession in the past when total government spending (fed and states) has been cut as it has been the last 3 years. Somehow we’re managing now, but further cuts won’t increase the likelihood of further recovery, and the cuts required by the sequester is likely to push the economy into another recession. There’s a time and place for everything.[/quote]
Can you please provide a chart of total government spending showing that it has been coming down for the last 3 years from an objective, reliable source ?
My understanding of the sequester is that it is a reduction in the increase in spending, not a cut in spending.
