There is always some news story about spending caps in New Hampshire, most of it about how bad they are.<\/p>\n

The term \u201cspending cap\u201d is always turned on its head to become a \u201ctax cap.\u201d<\/p>\n

But we can lump them together if you want. Chalk it up to intellectual laziness and propaganda from anti-spending cap reporters and officials.<\/p>\n

The one thing that will always ring true is that spending caps work \u2013 if the powers-that-be want them to.<\/p>\n

You know what American city doesn\u2019t have a spending cap?<\/p>\n

If you guessed (D)etroit you would be correct.<\/p>\n

Detroit<\/a> <\/p>\n

Oh, but (D)etroit is going to get a \u201cspending cap\u201d oh, yeah they are! <\/p>\n

An \u201cemergency manager\u201d of their bankruptcy is going to level some sorely needed \u201creforms\u201d upon the bastion of liberalism.<\/p>\n

That is a \u201cspending cap\u201d if anything ever was.<\/p>\n

I would imagine that the \u201cspending cap\u201d proposed in (D)etroit will come with some higher taxes on the few remaining individuals who still call the city their home.<\/p>\n

That certainly isn\u2019t a \u201ctax cap\u201d now is it?<\/p>\n

See the difference now?<\/p>\n

One way or another, if you live in a municipality that likes liberal spending and borrowing you may see a spending cap first hand, like it or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
