Obama on Spending

James Pethokoukis on Obama's paltry spending cut ideas.

My take: In a $3 trillion federal budget, that's it, that's all the fat—just defense and some procedural changes. How about limiting discretionary spending growth to inflation minus 1 percent or such? Oh, and on the subject of taxes, don't think Obama will wait until the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts expire in 2010.

Raise taxes and continue to spend even more.  Hmm...  I wonder if McCain has the same thoughts on spending?
