What he meant was that the U.S. should run a deficit in depression times and pay it off in good times-in other words, balance the budget over a period of years. But if this was the policy, why was the U.S. running a deficit now? John Snyder's answer was at least partly political. The root of the trouble he said, was the tax cut by the Republican...
