As long as people don't realize that spending cuts in a recession will jut lead to more recession we are going to be screwed. Show me one Economist that says spending cuts in an economic downturn will help? The whole balanced budget thing is downright stupid at best and disingenuously crazy at the least when you consider a decade ago our problem was running a budget surplus. The problem is not government spending. It was FINANCIAL COLLAPSE and that had nothing to do with how much the government was spending and everything to do with deregulation of the financial markets by both Republicans and Democrats. Now we are left digging ourselves out of a ditch and the only solutions being passed are to dig deeper into that ditch.
