This is a joke, right? Broad platitudes, and rosy sounding goals….has anyone wondered why no Republican President since Eisenhower has actually balanced a budget? Why no Republican President has ever controlled spending?
Because the voters, Republican and Democrat don’t want to.
Every penny of “pork” is someone’s vitally needed, absolutely efficient, we-will-die-without-it government program, even if it is a bridge to nowhere.
Telling us you will cut the “waste” in government is the oldest lie in the book, spoken by politicians who know that pork will never be cut as long as the pig holds the knife.
Hell, I am not looking for a line item budget, or even a listing of government agencies…Can they even tell us which Cabinet departments will get cut? Will the Department of Defense budget go up or down? The Department of Interior, up or down? and so on. And then lets compare that budget against expected tax receipts. If there is a deficit, when do the Republicans expect to eliminate it?
This is why regular Americans are mocking the GOP- bold brave talk about fiscal responsibility, without the guts or courage to honestly tell us what they plan to cut or who they want to tax.
