Budget surplus: "Two groups came out right away.  One group came out and said, "Hey we can just go spend more money. More programs".  Another group came out and said, "You gotta give it all back. Don't take a dollar. Do a big tax cut."  Both those answers are dumb."

And there is the fundamental problem.  Team D Progressives run out of other peoples money creating the Utopia, while Team R Progressives reinvent ways to extract (re-venue) other peoples money to keep the Progressive Utopia alive.
