Take the following as truth: But after the requisite barb-trading with the White House, and a much-photographed round of negotiations in which the sanctity of Social Security and the need to invest in our nation's children are duly invoked, it would be a blessing if Congress would quietly pass a continuing resolution keeping spending more or less where it currently is, and then take to the hustings, where each party can blame the other for doing what's best for the country--nothing.
Then the following statement: "It would be nice if Congress could increase spending to a rate this country has never seen before. " is true, false, or inconclusive?
