Clarify you position. Do you agree or disagree that spending is directly controlled and that revenues are indirectly controlled?

I should know better to engage you on this, but in any case, you wildly overstate how much control government has over spending.
You can't fine tune or drastically change spending on entitlements, for example.
Nevermind, of course, the fact that the current republican talking point is more about short term economic slowdown to help with next year's election than any sincere commitment to fiscal balance.
