Again, when the economy recovers, tax revenues go up. That’s where the more comes from, in classical deficit spending.

I completely agree that spending should be cut, given the large number of government programs I think do no good or actively screw shit up— not to mention the overspending we do on the military. I support anything that identifies non-functional parts of the government and axes them. What worries me, though, is that a lot of people talking about cutting spending seem to have ideological rather than pragmatic targets.
