The mathematical reality is that the GOP agenda is to eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs by taking away the funding that sustains those jobs.
They are not just government jobs. They are private sector jobs as well.
No elimination of government funding can occur without job elimination.
This reality is of course why the GOP is generally so mealy mouthed about the whole issue...
...they don't dare run on the simple truth, which is that in order to balance the budget without any tax increases,
you HAVE to put hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work.
and? my emphasis....
one more time-
sorry no sale, when you spend way ahead of inflation and pop. growth sans some catastrophic requirement you raise expectations beyond the bar at which it is monetarily feasible to provide and yes people get used to the raised bar and whine when the bar is leveled down to its appropriate place.
you cannot provide everything to everyone...no matter how hard you try but try they do and here we are.
it is what it is, transfer payments to pay for jobs in the gov. state or fed. that are not required or yield no net plus need to go.
