Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
This is why the upcoming election is so crucial. If Romney gets in with a republican congress, we have a fighting chance. He can start the process of cutting government back to what we can afford.
If Obama somehow is reelected, we have lost the country as we knew it. We know for example that the ePA has deferred radical anti-energy regulations until after the election. Once Obama is safely back in, they will go full tilt on them and pretty much destroy the economy and our standard of living. To save the planet of course, so any price is worth paying.
Obama's so-called balanced approach to the budget crisis is really just more massive tax increases and more spending, with promised future cuts thrown in to fool people. If we can't make cuts today, who is dumb enough to believe they will magically materialize years down the road when spending is even more out of control? It's not like the democrats didn't run this scam several times before.
How can you possibly justify cutting medicare for example, yet not axing the absurd subsidies for thing slike public broadcasting? Other than to force progrssive idiocy on local school boards, why do we need a Department of Education? Have educational results improved or gone down since it was established?
Do we really need massive diversity bureaucracies in every single federal agency? What essential functions do the Departments of Labor, Commerce, HUD and Energy do they can't returned to one or two other departments? Or better yet, axed altogether? Or would you rather cut Social Security and Medicare, which while misguided actually do help people?
Obama's answer is to raise taxes and demonize the so-called rich, who are actually the upper middle class. If that were a viable approach, Detroit would be a model city and California and Illinois would have rock solid finances.
