Blinking would suggest he stood for deep budget cuts then caved. Huckabee never met social spending he didn't like, such as Michelle Obama's billions for childhood obesity that he pushed on his Fox show. He also loves to shovel the "compassionate conservative, what would Jesus do" BS when it comes to cutting anything that some democrat claims might hurt women, children, elderly or the poor. If Huckabee ever gets elected president, he going to make GWB and maybe even Obama look like spendthrifts with his new social programs.
Bears repeating!
Sorry. No President from this point forward is going to be able to spend like Obama has, let alone a Republican one.
The problem with Huckabee is that he shown the willingness to buckle to Democrats on budgets. He'd most likely go along with massive tax increases to reduce the deficit if elected unless there is a conservative majority preventing that.
