This reminds me of Wimpy's "I'll gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today" promise. New spending is always today and budget cuts are always "next Tuesday". The cuts never quite seem to get there. The automatic sequester cuts made real cuts happen that could never have taken place with a Congressional vote. This NEW Deal is not necessarily a Good Deal, but the devil is in the details. But if it's business as usual it will be the same old same old. Spend today and save tomorrow. Tomorrow never seems to come.
