Ummm… cutting government during a recession would be insanity. That is why even conservative presidents increase spending.

Great. Who is talking about cutting Government spending?

Obama is increasing spending at an alarming rate. He will more than triple the record yearly deficit this year, His own projections show his plan added more debt in two years than any other president has in 4, and more in 4 years than any other president has in 8. That is insanity. There has to be middle ground. That is before adding 1.2 trillion in 10 years.

We keep pointing this out and your response is always well cutting spending is insanity. Obama will spend more in deficit (according to his own numbers before Cap and Trade and Health care than all republican presidents together.

Problem is it is not just one time spending Obama is increasing, it is one time, and ongoing spending. So basically he plans on increasing annual spending and one time spending at the same time. At some point We have to admit we can't pay for everything.

By Obama's own number spending is not cut Revenues are increased. Revenues are increased by over 30 % what do you think that does to the economy?

A recession is defined as shrinking GDP for 2 quarters. That means the economy shrinks. Cut govt spending and the economy shrinks further. You wont find ANY serious or educated economists tell you to cut govt or spending to eliminate a recession. Only loud mouth conservative pundits, con blogs and other people who have no basic knowledge of economics.

Actually you are correct. By your own admission the recession is over. Let cut spending. Let's Stop spending. Lets get government to live within it's means. Let's Prove Democrats are fiscally responsible. Somehow adding 1.75 trillion in new debt does not seem to be the answer to the educated economists either. Or 1.5 next year, or 1.2 the year after that. (before health care and cap and trade and new spending.

I can't believe I am saying this but let's get back to where we were with Bush where we are only adding 450 b to the debt.
