If spending increases by 400 billion next year but economic growth increases revenues by 500 billion then that will be good. That is what kept happening in the 90s.

What I'm saying is that I have zero confidence that the increase in spending with bear any relation to the increase in revenues.
ETA: And I'm not in this for par. I spent years reading and believing that the GOP stood for REDUCING government spending and the size of the federal government. I think the 1994 congress did truly believe this. I think Newt truly believes this. But the bumbs in office now care only about maintaining power.
