[zeke]

About time the GOP told America what it was offering.


"Pushing back against criticism that the GOP had become defined entirely by opposition to President Obama, Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus released a list of 11 “Principles for American Renewal” that he said would guide the GOP agenda should it gain control of government."

Any disagreement on these ideas for governing?

Here are the Republican Party's Principles for American Renewal

• Constitution: Our Constitution should be preserved, valued and honored.
• 
  
• Economy: We need to start growing America’s economy instead of Washington’s economy so that working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.
• 
  
• Budget/Debt: We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.

• Healthcare: We need to start over with real healthcare reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
• 
  
• Veterans: Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude, and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor.
• 
  
• Security: Keeping America safe and strong requires a strong military, growing the economy, energy independence, and secure borders.

• Education: Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school.
• 
  
• Poverty: The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work.
• 
  
• Values: Our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty, and hard work.

• Energy: We should make America energy independent by encouraging investment in domestic energy, lowering prices, and creating jobs at home.
• Immigration: We need an immigration system that secures our borders, upholds the law, and boosts our economy.

What's not to like?

Well aside from the fact that there is no PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE LOFTY GOALS is a problem.
That and I didn't see anything about puppies, apple pie and mom.

• Economy: We need to start growing America’s economy instead of Washington’s economy so that working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.

Who could argue with that? But we need detail on how Republicans propose to increase wages and opportunities. They didn't the last time we let them run things

Who could argue with that?
Everyone who supported/supports Obama.


1.” The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” Obama said on July 3, 2008, at a campaign event in Fargo, N.D.

2. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Barack Obama pledged Monday to cut the nation's $1.3 trillion deficit in half by the end of his first term.

a. “The total national debt now stands at $15.8 trillion, up from $10.6 trillion when Mr. Obama took office, an increase of nearly 50 percent. A commonly cited and more economically important subset, debt held by the public, has grown to $11 trillion from $6.3 trillion, a 75 percent increase —

4. Comparison to January 2009- The size of the working age population grew over 8 million from 234.739 million at the time Obama was sworn in. Yet, the labor force has grown by just 130,000. The labor-participation rate has dropped 2.1%. Also, there are still 325,000 less people in raw numbers that hold jobs than there were at the time of his inauguration. Overall, there are almost 8 million more people not in the labor force relative to January 2009. April Jobs More is Less RedState

5. "The 35.4 Percent: 109,631,000 on Welfare
109,631,000 Americans lived in households that received benefits from one or more federally funded "means-tested programs" — also known as welfare — as of the fourth quarter of 2012,according to data released Tuesdayby the Census Bureau. When those receiving benefits from non-means-tested federal programs — such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and veterans benefits — were added to those taking welfare benefits, it turned out that 153,323,000 people were getting federal benefits of some type at the end of 2012.

Subtract the 3,297,000 who were receiving veterans' benefits from the total, and that leaves 150,026,000 people receiving non-veterans' benefits."

" ....there is no PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE LOFTY GOALS."

Sure is, Zekey.....

It's called "Throw Out Every Democrat/Liberal/Progressive."


Really nothing new.....Shakespeare's Henry VI, a similar plan: "kill all the lawyers. ..."

Isn't that what they've said every election year since Ford? Makes you wonder when they are going to deliver.

Fail.....more repeal OBAMACARE and we will let you know at some distant time what we will replace it with. Bring an offer to the table that is better, then we can discuss

No shit. Are republicans willing to pump billions into veterans health? If not, it is just platitudes

Maybe just having competent, effective administration of the VA would allow vets to see a doctor in a timely manner?



Wait, that wouldn't allow for additional billion$ to be added to a bloated budget allowing for more bureaucracy.

Sorry, my bad.

Nice cut and paste
Your fingers must be sore

But unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Republican proposals to increase wages and opportunities

 

[Luddly Neddite]

The only way they can deliver on that list is if they become Democrats.

Really, that's a funny list because its everything they have worked against.

 

[Katzndogz]

Strong families and jobs will never sell enough to attract democrat votes. Promising a job is like the executioner fixing the electric chair. A secure border is not something people want especially democrats. Religious liberty is over in the United States. No. I don't see these principles as being too popular.

No...actually decreasing waiting times come down to facilities and doctors and yes, that will involve pumping billions of dollars into the VA . Republicans give plattitudes to giving veterans respect and gratitude. But when it comes to voting for funding they are Missing in Action

Well, we really cannot be sure can we?

To know, we'd need accurate data, also MIA, because the Obama Administration allowed the books to be cooked.

• Education: Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school.

Education is more than vouchers. Republicans need to get away from their pet bandaid solution and look at the entire education picture at all levels

 

[rightwinger]

• Poverty: The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work.

Platitudes that dodges the problems. The issue is how will you bring jobs to those who need it? How does government enforce strong families?

"look at the entire education picture?"

What in the name of Fuck is that supposed to mean? You don't think there's anyone looking? There's no Dept of Education?

Lemme guess, you mean we need to SPEND MORE MONEY. There's a shocker.

Newsflash: The picture HAS been looked at: Some schools suck. Vouchers are one alternative, for some parents but not all. Just because they are not alternatives for EVERY parent doesn't mean they should be denied to ALL parents.
