"We're in the midst of a great four-year national debate on the size and reach of government, the future of the welfare state, indeed, the nature of the social contract between citizen and state. The distinctive visions of the two parties -- social-democratic vs. limited-government -- have underlain every debate on every issue since Barack Obama's inauguration: the stimulus, the auto bailouts, health-care reform, financial regulation, deficit spending. Everything. The debt ceiling is but the latest focus of this fundamental divide.
The sausage-making may be unsightly, but the problem is not that Washington is broken, that ridiculous ubiquitous cliche. The problem is that these two visions are in competition, and the definitive popular verdict has not yet been rendered."
Charles Krauthammer
Remember during Reagan's terms all the Democrats claiming that we needed to increase the marginal tax rates because of the budget deficits? Now the marginal rates are much higher, the deficit and debt are much higher, and they still want to raise the marginal rates.
Detectives would call that a clue.
