so the 25% rise in spending over the last few years
should be sustained as is? Revenues would have to be increased to cover that nut

Revenue drops, spending temporarily increases in recessions.

not arguing that
politically telling folks that we must raise taxes to cover a 25% rise in spending during a recession is no an electable proposition

Nope. Just means other 50% shouldn't, according to them.

Actually, more like 99.7% don't pay any taxes
The only tax I'm counting is Milwaukee County property taxes.

In the long run no
In the long run no, but even without the 25% rise due to recession spending there would still have to be changes to balance the budget long term.
The huge reduction in revenue caused by the Bush tax cuts and the massive military spending of Iraq and Afganistan are the primary causes of the current deficit, not the money spent on Wall Street due to the finance crash.
The money spent on social programs and helping the general public during the recessions is so small as to be insignificant compared to those three.
