Robert Reich says:
Federal spending is still way out of control. It’s at a higher rate and a higher percent of the overall economy than a decade ago. Even if you take military spending out of the calculation, you see almost nothing but more spending. And lots of the spending is for pork (bridges to nowhere) and corporate welfare (farm subsidies, a drug benefit that mainly benefits Big Pharma).
and
This means it’s even more important now to cut spending and raise taxes in preparation for the upcoming drain on Social Security and Medicare.
We aren't suprised Reich is calling for higher taxes but how many Democrats want to cut spending?
