Why Can't Democrats Cut Spending?

Question

Instead of always wanting to raise taxes.

Answer 1

It's Republicans that doubled government spending in just eight years. (Also doubled the National Debt)

Answer 2

They're kinda addicted to it.  Plus, what they spend all the tax money on is useless programs that give money/services to the poor so they'll keep voting Dem.

Answer 3

Because a lot of times they want to introduce new costly things instead of working with what we have

Answer 4

Don't worry. Once Obama puts Bush's Iraq war to rest, all will be well.
