It usually does, it's just a more obvious way than tax cuts. Notoriously, Democrats in recent years have not cared about deficits too much. Republicans in Congress only care about them when a Democrat is in office (see comments from GOP lawmakers during Bush II era and recent ones regarding tax reform). There has been a constant thrust of deficit spending since the 1970's, and we need to stop. It is good in the short term but lowering taxes and increasing spending needs to be balanced with raising taxes and cutting spending.
Like I said in another post, we need to get Keynesian on this shit.
