In response to "I don't define "not cut" as "increased", no. " by Dr.Vermin

as we said last night, when you have to increase the deficit, i.e. borrow money to cut taxes, then yes, it's spending money.

We define 'spend' differently. - Dr.Vermin Dec 8, 09:35 10

- End of the day, if you're talking balanced budgets, using your definition is hiding reality. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:37 6
  - I am conceding that it raises the defecit and is bad for the budget. - Dr.Vermin Dec 8, 09:40 5
    - define for me, in your opinion, when increasing the debt is bad? - Mel Profit Dec 8, 09:48
    - If you make $100 a day and you spend $95 a day, that's rational spending. - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:42 3

        There are several ways to increase spending, is what we're saying. - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:45 1
        
        er, "spending power" is a typo. Should be "buying power". :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:45
- spending the same amount while earning less money is overspending. Living beyond your means. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 09:37
- whether you label it "spending" or not, if it has a negative effect on your overall cash flow, it's the same thing. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 09:37
