[Huck]

A government in a country with a rapidly growing 12 trillion dollar economy can afford to borrow 100-360 billion a year without worrying too much about serious economic problems

What is clear is that the GOP has severed any connection it ever had (which now that I think of it is dubious) to spending restraint. They just spend on different things. But now the grass roots GOP is arguing vehemently that 300 billion deficits are good policy. We shall see.
