Re: Barnes Is Right

Quin, I'm glad to hear that Fred Barnes has come around on spending cuts. His current argument seems slightly at odds with his piece on big government conservatism from a few years ago: "[Bush] understands why Reagan failed to reduce the size of the federal government and why Newt Gingrich and the GOP revolutionaries failed as well. The reason: People like big government so long as it's not a huge drag on the economy."
