Pre-Cambrian Spending

Just can’t seem to get away from Doug Wilson’s blog. He seems to have something engaging to say about everything. Here’s Doug on Paul Ryan’s budget proposal.

The Democrats believe in big government. The Republicans believe in less big, but still ginormous, government. Consequently, Republicans have the constant role of taking the lunacy rolled out by the Democrats, and trying to make it work in some responsible way. Ryan’s plan is a variation on that perpetual theme. If he succeeds, there will be savage cuts, taking us back to the pre-Cambrian era of spending -- 2008, say. If he fails, then there will be real financial reform, another name for which is bankruptcy.
