They'd be real Democrats if they started to throw things out of their pockets to propel themselves forward

(i.e. "spend our way out of this recession")

Perhaps, but shouldn't the government radically reduce spending to pay off the debt when the economy is booming again?

Yet, they never do. Budgets go up when times are good, and up when times are bad.

Ronnie Reagan and Tip O'Neill never quite figured that one out, and sad to say, we have been stuck with that model ever since.

“The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”
