"Has anyone expressed any concern about the size of the deficit this all portends, or is this thread supply side central and/or deficits don't matter no matter how large city?"

Deficits are actually good ! They keep a check on spending better than anything. If we didn't have deficits in the 80's the Rats would have spent 500 Billion more !

You have a point that is not wholly without merit, but it is nevertheless a depressing point to the extent meritorious, ie the only way to leash the leviathan is through irresponsible fiscal policy. An alternative is to elect Dem presidents and Pubbie Congresses, but then fiscal policy is not the alpha and omega. There are other issues out there.
