Kerry would spend less, at least with this Congress. As soon as a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans in Congress would rediscover their fiscally conservative roots. I'm not saying that splitting the branches in opposing parties is a net good (though I think it might be) but when it comes to spending a Democratic president with a Republican congress is probably going to almost always spend less money than a Dem or Rep dominated government.
