You missed the point, what they say and what they do are two different things as evidenced by every administration they have presided over for the last 30 years, all we get from them is ever greater spending, less taxes for the rich, and greater debt.
Yes, you've made your point the first time. And most American people agree with you on spending cuts while many still want more social programs coupled with pork barrel spending. The easier way for any politician is to promise one and play the other.
Less taxes from the rich ( or middle class) is irrelevant. If the government isn't bringing in income from any sources, and there many areas where they get their revenue, then they shouldn't be spending it. They should have a budget and follow it. When is the last time there was a budget? We all know that we should only spend what we have. Why should the government be any different?
The only departure from that track during the last 3 decades has been the Clinton Administration when both sides came together to both cut spending and increase taxes for the wealthy.
Yes, and that was with a Republican Congress that controlled the purse strings, which is similar to what we see now and why Republicans were elected to Congress during the last elections. People wanted a halt to crazed spending.
When the GOP gets serious about cutting the deficit that is what we will have to do again.
Exactly, and this is what the Tea Party is all about.
