That's what I'd love to see as the GOP campaign slogan for this year's election.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
It means all GOP candidates should support and 20% cut in spending and a 10% across the board tax cut - IN ADDITION TO MAKING THE BUSH TAX CUTS PERMANENT.
A 20% spending cut and a 10% across the board tax cut.
It's what Poizner wants for California - (PDF).
It's what the federal government should do too.
(At the very least every candidate should support extending the Bush Tax Cuts. Any candidate who won't should be defeated!)
UPDATE:
SOME PEOPLE THINK WE CAN'T CUT THE BIDGET BY 20%, THAT IT'S UNREALISTIC.
THEY ARE WRONG; WE CAN CUT THE BUDGET BY 20%:
- THE BUDGET WAS 20% SMALLER UNDER CLINTON; IF THAT AMOUNT OF SPENDING WAS OKAY FOR CLINTON, THEN IT SHOULD BE OKAY NOW FOR OBAMA.
- OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES OFTEN ARGUE THAT IF THEY LET THE BUSH TAX CUTS EXPIRE THAT THE TAX RATE WILL ONLY BE AS HIGH AS IT WAS UNDER CLINTON.
- FINE, THEN MAKE THE SPENDING THE SAME AS UNDER CLINTON!
I hear a lot of cries for nonspecific spending cuts.
ReplyDeleteThat part's easy.
The current plan for fiscal 2011 is $3.8 trillion in spending. I'd like to hear some ideas on exactly which $760 billion you want to remove from the budget.
