Kasich: Both Dems and Republicans ‘Love to Spend;’ ‘It’s Just that Republicans Feel Guilty’

‘If you don’t have a leader that stands in the breach to restrain the spending of government, they’ll always spend’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
TODD: "You know, you’ve also been critical of how the surplus that you as a Republican budget leader and working with the Clinton administration you guys foraged a budget that was projected surpluses throughout the first part of the 2 1st century. It was gone immediately. One way many Democrats have said one of the reasons that surplus went away so quickly was due to the bush tax cuts. Do you concur with that? Were the bush tax cuts too big?"
KASICH: "No, I think it was spending, chuck. The dirty little secret is Democrats love to spend. And Republicans do too, it’s just that Republicans feel guilty. Look, if you don’t have a leader that stands in the breach to restrain the spending of government, they’ll always spend."
TODD: "I’m going to leave it there." 
KASICH: "Okay, chuck."
TODD: "I appreciate it. We’ll catch up I’m sure in the next week or so."
KASICH: "Yeah, we will. All right."
