Bloated how? What would you cut more of? Red States are already turning paved roads to gravel.Funny, you complain about an infrastructure falling apart and then complain about paying taxes. Truly, Republicans are incapable of seeing a connection.PLEASE EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING:The Chinese Stock market has lost more value than what the Republicans did with the deficit creating Bush Tax Cuts or the cost of the two unpaid for wars.
Russia is in recession.
Europe is in flux starting with the Greece crisis.
Brazil will be in recession for at least the next two years.
The problems in this country are lack of GOP support. They don't want roads, sewers, electrical grid, transportation or anything else that would help the country to be improved for strictly political reasons. A form of blackmail they are hoping will pay off in the next election. Honest Republicans, few and far between, admit that fact.
During the second quarter, the US economy is expected to grow at over 2%. And the Pacific Trade Pact, which so many hate, would tie the US economy to the fastest growing economies in the world.
Wages are up and unemployment is down. Fortunately, we still have nearly two years under Obama. They next big threat to the US economy, as GOP governors have shown us, is another GOP president.
