My Home About Me

to Ned Lamont, who writes an op-ed today called "Democrats Mean Business." He styles himself as an Horatio Alger who has learned the lessons of entrepreneurship and will bring them to Washington. But here's the bottom line, with emphasis added:

First, entrepreneurs are frugal beasts, because the bottom line means everything. In Connecticut, voters are convinced that Washington has utterly lost touch with fiscal reality. We talked about irresponsible budget policies that have driven the annual federal deficit above $300 billion and the debt ceiling to $9 trillion. Meanwhile, the government is spending $250 million a day on an unprovoked war in Iraq while starving needed social investment at home.

So which is it, Ned? Is the problem that Washington is spending too much money? Or is the problem that Washington isn't spending the money on social programs?
