"All that is needed is tight spending control and the economy should grow its way to a surplus."

We are not in disagreement on that, but the Devil resides in the exact details....

"Of course considering the proclivities of politicians, "tight spending control" might not be very likely..."

Thus: devalued fiat currencies (de facto 'tax increases' because of bracket creep) and inflation... the politician's favorite shell game.
