Domestic spending is obviously out of control, but the fact is that our budgets were in good shape when Clinton left office. The anger I have over a hyper-interventionist foreign policy is over the missed opportunity to take advantage of our geographical isolation by conserving our wealth and manpower by letting the rest of the world weaken themselves in conflict and arms races. It's sad that so much of the conservative outlook these days has more in common with Woodrow Wilson and FDR than with Robert Taft.

That's no difficult when you're in the upswing of a financial bubble. A little more difficult after the bubble bursts.
