Just heard on Peoples Radio:

Just caught the end of this- some wonk being interviewed by Scott Simon said "the reason the economy has slowed down is the government isn't spending as much.". He went on to opine that it is folly to be talking about spending cuts.

Simply amazing.

we would have to give up the habit of infinite borrowing without an intent to pay back.

Then we're doomed right off the bat.... I don't think you could find a person in gov't (besides a TEA partier) that thinks we could cut enough fat and waste and programs to allow us to get by without borrowing.....
