Excellent video to illustrate precisely what I was saying: it wasnt two broken legs, and it wasnt a marathon. Pep talks might help here and there, but not in such a deep crisis.

Maybe it's because what you spend it on, as opposed to how much you spend. Nation building, creating a huge "security" apparatus, and using current medicare and social security surpluses to push regressive tax cuts through is not exactly my idea of spending liberals would get behind.

Of course, congressional dems are being too slow to revert some of these things.

But given the reaction to Obama's budget by many in the press, you get the idea that so many people are shocked that he is trying to do exactly what he campaigned on. The guy runs a campaign on public investment on healthcare, cap and trade, and reverting the tax cuts for those making more than 250k and when he puts those things in the budget, he gets attacked by most of the press corps.
