Newsweek Says It All-We're Socialists Now

From G. Tracey Mehann III at the American Spectator:
"You know we are in trouble when our Commander-in-Chief starts defending out-of-control spending, garnished with a light sprinkling of actual economic stimulants, by citing the once fiscally incontinent Republicans for running up a trillion dollar plus deficit over the past eight years. "If they could do it, we can do it,” seems to be the sub-text of the President's line of argument. Yes, we can. God made Democrats to spend, not Republicans. Let the amateurs step aside for the real pros. No, he didn't really say anything like this. But he really should come up with a better argument than "The Republicans did it, too.”
The Republicans did lose their souls and spent like it was 1965. Shame on them for that. Still, as my wise mother told me, time and time again, two wrongs do not make a right. Newsweek says we are all socialists now, and that government at all levels is going to consume close to 40 percent of our GDP!
