Whelly, the problem is runaway tax cuts.

How can you fix anything if you can't understand the problem?

The only runaway spending we have is on the Military Industrial Complex.

Every thing else is in full bore austerity mode.

It's so unbecoming.

Did you think that if you leave something unsaid, nobody is going to call you on the obvious subtext?

We all know what's in your heart.

Soiled drawers are even more unbecoming, Tom. You'll need to change those skivvies pretty soon.

Uh, no. Government spending, an absolutely opaque domestic policy and arbitrary tax policy is what lengthened the Great Recession such that it exceeded the average duration of any prior recession.

More likely the knee jerk fierce opposition by the Repubs to every and
anything Obama proposes.

Likewise the Great Depression and, no I don't mean war spending (though that didn't exactly hurt).
