Until mandatory spending is reformed, every president from here on out will be forced to spend even more then their predecessor.
Ok, I see your point now. But I don't believe that each and every president will have to spend more and more. Spending is done by Congress mostly. Congress is the one to blame. Congress can control spending. And deep cuts will have to be made. The continual deficit spending is out of control.
