Overview
This collection of essays takes a critical look at a huge topic; government spending. Readers will explore whether government spending, be it on education, health care, or designated projects, is wasteful. They will evaluate whether government spending should allow deficits and debt, and the impact spending policies have on the economy. Essays also present ways that spending must change to meet future challenges, like the increase in retirees, the evolving clean energy industry, and the changing needs of the nation's defense. Essay sources include Christopher J. Conover, Neal McCluskey, Nicola Moore, and Andrew G. Biggs.

Reviews
Review: Government Spending Each volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selections--by experts, policy makers, and concerned citizens--include complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers. --Booklist
