Hold on to your wallets, folks. This piece points out that despite President Bush's current spending extravaganza, every single one of the current democratic candidates would increase the amount of federal spending even more.

While I find the current amount of spending truly appalling, at least the Republicans believe in a somewhat reasonable distribution of income taxation. These Democrats think they can pull this off while making the so called rich pay an even more disproportionate share of the load. Perhaps the Dems don't think they can achieve the popularity enjoyed by FDR until there is a full scale depression in place.
