I would agree with you, except that your commentary on the graph included the conclusion that spending was "unsupportable", apparently based on that graph (and if not on that, you didn't otherwise source it). I am forced to conclude that your conclusion owes to the only significant visible shift on the chart, i.e. the relative inversion of defense versus social spending. Flitz, I'm curious, did the spending graph surprise you? I would think the historical spending trends might have surprised you given the views expressed in your earlier posts. Jim No, it did not. The role of government is broadening because we, as a nation, have repeatedly voted to have that happen. As they say in South Carolina, "Keep the damned government out of my Medicare." I am also for fiscal restraint. We can start with the trillions of dollars we have been spending on destabilizing and pointless wars for the last 20 years, more or less non-stop.
