The latest Newsweek does its best to paint South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford?s fiscal conservatism as some sort of bizarre lingering affliction, or at least as a calculated attempt to pander to those crazy 2012 Republican presidential primary voters.
Still, some of Sanford?s common sense seeps through to the final version of the story:
“We can’t spend our way out of a problem that was caused by too much spending,” he says. “There’s not a huge market for austerity in austere times, but that doesn’t take away from the reality of that being where we need to go.”
I?m reminded again of the words Sanford shared with a Civitas crowd a couple of years back.
