I have been watching the country get driven into socialism and crushed further into debt. So now on TV they (conservatives) are saying it is going to be up to the Republicans to get voted in and save us all from socialism this November. My question is what has a Republican done to shrink government? I do not believe in Republicans anymore, they have failed me.
In my life I have seen bigger government and more spending each every step of the way with Republicans. You have Republicans like Scott Brown who votes for jobs bills spending more Keynesian spending that has never worked in history. How will Republicans cut spending and balance the budget?
Republicans still believe in the Laffer Curve from the Reagan days. The biggest misconception with the Laffer Curve is not that lower taxes are better, instead the Laffer Curve is a tool to figure out what the maximum tax rate the government can get away with. Common sense says a tax rate of 0 would be best economically. Yes I understand we do need government and military, but the point is we need a smaller government not the largest one we can get away with.
Are Republicans willing to balance the budget in 2012 if they win the majority back? Are they willing to cut the military spending in half? Can a single Republican tell me how they will balance the budget and or what they would be willing to cut? I have not found a single one who can. Republicans may be a big winner in November, but unless we get leaders like Governor Chris Christie who is taking the Unions head on and slashing spending, we will continue down the road to serfdom.
I saw Sean Hannity stumped when asked what would he cut from the budget, yet he is the first to say he hates deficits. I am skeptical the Republicans will practice what they preach.
