Honestly, I don't know who is fiscally more responsible, in general. Right now, it seems the GOP is but that will change.I agree that the GOP was highjacked by the religious right, but that does not mean the GOP IS the religious right.
For those of us who are fiscally conservative and socially liberal - and we make up a large portion of independents and the 'undecided' before big elections - pragmatism forces us to vote either [D] or [R], if we want our vote to count. For many of us, the lesser of two evils is to vote [R] because of our fiscal conservative views. If the Democratic Party wants to win these votes, perhaps attention to fiscal conservatism would be a good idea?
Just a thought.
Yeah I would agree but the Republicans are showing me they are even less fiscally responsible than the Democrats. And sadly, neither side has a clue about what to do about jobs in today's international marketplace.
With Revenue at 14.9% of GDP you better find a way to trim Social Security, Medicare or Defense drastically. And if Revenue stays at that percentage it will likely have to be 2 of the 3.
Yes, both sides are clueless about jobs.
Trimming does need to happen. This is unsustainable.
