CATO: GOP as Bad as Dems on Spending
- Thread starter Free Thinker
- Start date
I don't think the feds have any business being envolved with education or health care.
In these two instances more money just means more of the same or worse, so yes. And on the federal level it's almost NEVER done more wisely.
I do, what are you a fucking mind reader and an internet clown? The solution to gun violence is swift execution of those convicted of illegal/violent use of guns. Unfortunately bleeding heart liberals, such as yourself for example, oppose what's really needed at every turn.
Damn Feds are keeping states like Mississippi from teeching the truth about evolution. They want to push that liberal sciency stuff on 'em. And what? No prayer to start the day and learn how men used dinosaurs for food? Where's my gun?!....... Oooohhh, there you are sweetheart. Sssshhhh. It'll be OK again when we take back America.
Not surprised you did not get the joke.
Obviously your pea brain can't comprehend most gun violence is perpetrated on non-armed victims.
Well, many of my posts are jokes, mainly because I do want to make some serious contributions but don't necessarily want the micro-aggravation of some idiot attacking everything I say...
Here's what I seriously think about the topic of this thread: yes, a CATO contributor said what's mentioned here (GOP as bad as the Dems, etc) but other CATO writers were much more supporting of Paul Ryan's plan. For example, take a look at http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/obamas-paul-ryans-conflicting-budget-visions
Imo, the reason that the GOP is not moving farther right to propose steeper spending cuts, is that the left has already put this treacherous mechanism in motion: "vote for me and I'll give you free stuff AND I'll also denounce those other folks in the GOP who want to take stuff away from you, my poor, dependent, downtrodden, utterly incompetent little people..." That (recipe for) disaster is now looking us in the face, and we need to be very cautious or we'll go down the way of my old country, Greece.
In this financially and politically precarious climate, if the GOP really attempts to move too fast into sanity (eg, cut our expenses to a level that each and every of the reasonable Americans respects in their own lives wrt their own finances, push too hard towards the absolutely necessary balanced budget amendment, etc) they will be creamed at the polls. So, they make do with little steps in that direction. The hope is that as the floks see more clearly the danger of the Obama plan, or lack thereof, future Ryan plans can go further, etc etc.
