Government deficit spending isn't the only form of national self-indulgence, waste and greed. It's just the one the Right can't profit from. The worst form of deficit spending began when we deliberaterly started designing and marketing stuff so that it would have to be replaced (usually for purely cosmetic reasons) every few years. It was good for business, but that's all it was good for.

If you really think the Right will stop excessive government spending, you're cruising for a big disappointment. These are lawyers, politicians, and businessmen. They will only cut spending they can't profit from, and they will only cut the taxes they pay. Someone else will make up the difference.

These people are careerists. They are not professionals in love with their work, they are middlemen in love with money.
