Back when liberalism still stood on the podium, balanced budgets used to be
the right's main attack against progressive social programs.  Back when the
New Deal was not a shamed distant memory, liberals used to argue (correctly)
that some kinds of deficit spending pay themselves off.  Pairing the
"balanced budgets" fetish with charges of "big spending" is running to the
right of Bush.
