"If there is money available, there will be great pressure from both Democrats and Republicans to spend it. The Republicans will insist on tax reductions, and Democrats are likely to insist on additional funding for education, health and welfare."

Amazing. A tax reduction is spending. With that logic, all money belongs to the state and any expenditure public or private is counted on state ledgers.

When people say these things, do they actually realize what they are saying?

So Davis "shrugged off" his role.

Well, if they would have "spent" the money the Republican way by returning the surplus instead of "spending" it like drunken sailors the Democrat way, there would be no deficit.

Shrug that, Mr. Davis.
