Like I said though:

...someone will need to take that ... new definition and go back over the past 30 years or so of economic history, and go through each President's economic policies and reclassify all their policies --- because I AM CERTAIN that --- under this new and peculiar definition --- a whole Hell of a lot of old tax reductions would need to be called "spending" now! (The Reagan administration alone will prove fertile ground for redefining history, and so too will the Clinton and Bush II years!).

Now, I'm an old-fashioned sort... none of this NEW-SPEAK for me.

To me --- ONLY MONEY THAT GETS APPROPRIATED AND THEN SPENT should be called 'spending'... but you kids can go on having fun with you New Age 'PC' redefinitions if you wish....
