# Brad Templeton Yes, the government could stop spending.  What gives...

*January 25, 2025 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Brad Templeton's comment.*

Brad Templeton Yes, the government could stop spending.  What gives you the impression that either party is willing to do that?  If anything, the rate of spending is only increasing.  Any politician who publicly expresses support for deep cuts to old people welfare or military spending is soon not a politician any more.
