Not supposed to work that way, is it? Maybe it’s just the NY Times, a notorious liberal rag, maybe it’s not true, Must have been that liberal, tax and spend Senate. Oh, spending bills originate in the House. Well,
but for darned sure, it wouldn’t happen on GWBs watch!

Unless it was the war!!! But wait, "Significantly more, however, was delivered in the form of increased spending on highways, school construction, Medicaid, unemployment insurance and numerous municipal projects." Those are notoriously regressive!!!

Unless it was borrowed money. He wouldn’t increase spending if the money came from taxes, those ill-gotten gains extracted from the suffering rich by the greedy poor.

Big rise in gov’t spending may have eased recession

Oh, mercy, it just boggles the mind!!!

Frankly, I hope it is true. Coming after the tariffs (read "one-way free market" economy) it would be poetic.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
