That is all we hear (and have heard for a long time) is most Congressperson (either party) wanting more and more and more and more (just some wants more of X instead of Y).

I agree, the history of Congress is unbridled spending checked only when Congress is divided or is held in check by the other party in the White House. Government spending over the last 50-60 years doesn't track nearly as much along party lines (tax and spend Democrats in power, or whatever) as it does to whether both Congress and the White House are held by the same party. If they are, no matter which party, government spending goes up. If they aren't, the parties keep each other in check. I'm all for that. While I certainly have strong libertarian leanings, I think Libertarians as an "organized" force in politics leave much to be desired, and I'm not to the point of subsidizing them with my vote, yet.
