Let’s see. A Premier League team challenges an NFL team to a game of soccer. The PL team declares that they can carry and pass the ball with their hands. The NFL team says that, if you’re gonna do that, we will too. The Kansas City Star writes that the NFL team is hypocritical.

Yes, but those are legal and policy choices. I’m cautioning against using mathematical rigidity when stating that spending must equal revenue. If taxes are cut, fine, live with a higher deficit and its consequences, if any, but don’t cut spending.
