Buddy...

Seem to have no systemic bias towards balanced budgets, now do they?

So tell me Buddy, what happens when we enter a recession? Tax revenues fall off and transfer payments increase. How are you going to balance a budget when these events occur?

And, you(sic) *support* of constant deficit spending would seem to put you firmly on the side of an ever bigger government.

Nope, I'm just pointing out that automatic stabilizers make the possibility of a balanced budget problematic. But hey, don't let me stop you from painting with your brush of generalization.
