...by not condemning the undisciplined spending spree the republican controlled Congress and White House are on. And I'm not talking just entitlements and security; descresionary spending is through the ozone, or what's left of it. It's an impressive porkroast they are feasting on in DC. Still, there are at least some grumblings in conservative ranks over the total abandonment of fiscal restraint.

To be honest I personally don't see deficit spending to be a serious long term problem. Economic growth in less than a generation will make our current debts seem puny. But you guys have long claimed it is a problem because it means bigger government. It is a little amusing at times to see all these once harsh critics of government growth, and you all know who you are, hem and haw their way out of addressing the issue of fiscal restraint which was once a rallying cry for the conservative cause.
