"spending money like drunken sailors"
And I can't wait to see fiscally conservative Democrates wake up to that, as the impending tax burden becomes due, repeatedly.

1. Spending is a ridiculous single-issue item. It costs money to run an empire. PERIOD.
2. Taxes are not a strong campaign issue. Most people don't pay enough taxes for it to be important to them. The majority of voters are more concerned with the ATM transaction fee than tax reduction.
It's this "yesterday's papers" approach to politics and not enough in your face campaigning. Where was the political ad showing the people on top of the roof of the Saigon Embassy clawing each other's eyes out trying to get onto the last helicopter out of Vietnam.
With the sound of those chopper blades going full bore and the voice over saying, "The last time a Democratic congress had a voice in running a war, this is what happened."
