Here’s your answer. Every time tax burdens have been dramatically lowered the revenues to the government actually increased. It’s a fact. That combined with less government spending and a balanced budget will pay down the debt, give consumers confidence and crank up the economy. Everyone knows governments are some of the most wasteful spenders on earth. They have plenty of room to trim their budgets. I have no idea how many thousands of wasteful programs they have but there are those who do and only seek to create even more.

I guess on one note I’m a little more radical than most. Any government program that forcibly transfers money from one person to another should be on the budget chopping block.

“Here’s my idea of social justice. You keep what you earn and I’ll keep what I earn. Do you disagree? Then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you and why?

One another note, we are not even close to where we where during the great depression. Unemployment was 25% or more and many would argue the reason it went on so long is precisely because government when on a spending binge. Now they want to do it all over again.

Though the economy is not good right now , the government is running a huge scare tactic all in the name of convincing people the government is their only solution. You may buy it but I don’t. Neither did Reagan. In many ways the government is the solution but not in the way they are proposing that’s for sure.
