Stealth Liberalism

Barack Obama vented quite a bit of anger the other night for his convention speech, especially for George Bush and John McCain. However, he offered very little actual detail on what he would do as President. And there is a good reason why he hasn't been more clear: those issues are generally unpopular with voters. Kimberley Strassel considers what we can expect if he wins. And it will be expensive, the greatest explosion of federal spending since the Great Society. Who pays? All of us eventually, as it will just go right on the burgeoning national debt. No amount of tax increases can cover the spending in store for us. If only Bush had held the line on spending some, but he has signed virtually everything that has crossed his desk. Expect that trend to continue under Obama.
