I prefer honesty and transparency when it comes to government spending.

Point well taken, but I don't understand why we don't revert at the least to mid-90s levels.

I'm not sure, but inflation could have something to do with it? Maybe not. But I know I'd sure like to be able to buy a car or house at the same price I could buy one for in the mid 90's.
