"I believe it would have"

How so?

"It's hard to predict what people will put up with."

Not so hard. If inflation kicks into high gear, you will see.

"At least you aren't disputing my prediction that spending will continue to increase by leaps and bounds."

Didn't you read my post? I certainly dispute it. There already is pressure to cut spending, if there is the slightest hint that inflation is going to take off, it will only increase. If you have been paying attention to the political landscape for the past decade or two, inflation is a major bugaboo.
