How about CUTTING SPENDING YOU STUPID F---! What the hell kind of bilingual night school did you buy your PhD at, anywhow?
It's not even about "cutting spending." In most jurisdictions, tax revenues automatically increase in line with the economy and population. In other words, they get more money without doing anything. But that increase is not enough for them. They are always looking at ways to "enhance revenue." Reducing spending is not even on the table. It all about the rate of spending growth which in most governments is always several points beyond economic growth.
Government is a revenue glutton. Now matter how much it gets, it is never enough. It can not be satisfied.
