The GOP has been given a wake-up call with this last election: Do what we sent you to DC to do, or go home.It's funny the way you pretend you want to decrease the size of the government.Now YOU"RE agreeing with me. I'm saying taxes can't be cut unless spending is cut at the same time. THAT'S my opposition to this GOP/Obama stimulus package.
Now you're saying do it at the same time, but, you won't INSIST on doing it at the same time, you're willing to let them do the easy part, cutting taxes. That never works. The cuts are never made later.
Pay as you go has to work both ways. No spending without paying for it. No tax cuts without paying for them.
Where have you been the last two years while the Democrats were skyrocketing the deficit?
There have been four President's who have been able to get Congress to cut taxes for the benefit of growing the economy...
1. Coolidge
2. Kennedy
3. Reagan
4. Bush II
Only one has been able to follow through on reduced spending at the same time...Coolidge.
BTW, if the Obama-GOP deal goes through, that will be five.
We sent them to decrease the size of the government and get out of the way of the economy.
