Democrats queasy about deficit spending

From The Washington Post:

With voters up in arms over the mounting federal debt, congressional Democrats are growing increasingly queasy about adding to the nation's tab, with some arguing that additional spending to prop up the economy and help the unemployed should be paid for or abandoned.

"This is getting to be Judgment Day on the spending issue," Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said Tuesday. "I've come to the conclusion that voters are saying now that just throwing money at various kinds of issues -- virtually all of which are deserving -- isn't good enough."
