"replace borrow and spend with tax and spend."

Depends where you spend.

"What this really says is that there shouldnt be any major new programs until the economy is out of recession. "

We won't get out until we spend.

"it will take years to make better."

Yup

Sounds like a recipe for a Republican President in 2012. No, the next President is going to have a tough time, because he'll have to change the bad stuff while simultaneously doing some of the good stuff. A good start will be getting out of Iraq, taxing the oil companies, and spending big on alt energy. All of that can be done in the first 2 years in office. Leave health care for the second 4 years.
