More Democrats are arguing for less government spending.[i]
This shift in thinking is getting very little press because the election story
is so dominant in the current media.
Since few Democrats are using this
frustration with government spending as a reason to vote for non-Democrat
candidates, it receives sparse coverage.
But it is a significant change,
regardless.
Many Republicans and most independents and moderates believe that
Washington spends too much already.
If more Democrats continue to adopt the
same view, it may become a major story in the years ahead.
