The liberal drumbeat against spending reductions is increasing in
volume, frequency, and lack of common sense. Arithmetic makes the odd
liberal claim that we can spend our way out of deficits a hard sell.
Not only will it not work, but its failure will be costly. Unsustainable
deficits impose burdens not only on future generations. They also
divert limited savings away from private investment to the blank checks
of politicians and Washington central planners.
Everyone knows the deficit is the gap between government revenues and government spending. In order for extra spending to reduce the deficit, it must somehow raise revenues.
If liberals ridiculed Reagan’s belief that tax cuts could generate
growth and reduce deficits as “voodoo economics,” their plan for
increased government spending to reduce deficits is “witch doctor”
economics. Whereas, the media heaped scorn on Reaganomics, it ignores
the near comedic features of liberal witch-doctor economics.
