Republicans, here's your chance.

There's a lot of complaining going on about this spending and taxing program the Democrats are trying to get done. Nothing wrong with that. A strong debate about taxing and spending levels is an important conversation, even if all we seem to do is spend more regardless of the party in power.

So, Republicans, if you're convinced that the country wants lower taxes and lower spending, it seems to me that the 2022 election process is your chance to prove it. But there's just one thing you need to do, to be The Party of Fiscal Responsibility: Cut spending first, then cut taxes.

So here's how the 2022 campaigns would go: GOP candidates from coast to coast would run on first cutting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Welfare, several departments like the DOE, and then cutting taxes. Be honest with the American people. Be specific on what you would cut, by how much, and how it would affect everyday Americans.

If you win on that platform, you'll know that you have the ideas that America wants. You'll be able to overwhelm Biden with public opinion until you get the White House back in 2024. Then you'll truly be The Party of Fiscal Responsibility.

Agreed?
Yeah, I'm on board with that........They should just cut all the departments by 15%........start there and then we can work on specific programs........
 
There is no free trade. There has not been free trade since, well who knows when? When the Native American's ran the country perhaps.
What kind of response is that?

Its true we dont have unrestricted trade

There are tariffs on some items, which is good

But there is far more open trade than not
 
Source is linked below. Obviously you and others will disagree with some of the accomplishments, but that is to be expected. Many however are non-partisan.

Trump Administration Accomplishments – The White House

Let's take the very first one...

  • America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.
So, here is job creation for a number of years prior to COVID and including both Trump and Obama....can you point to the time when the Trump policies lead to a marked increase in jobs created...to me it looks as if not much of anything changed...

The only way to balance the budget and NOT RAISE the DEBT CEILING is t cut medicare and soc sec
If the entire federal budget is frozen in place with no automatic annual spending increases I think seniors can be convinced to take a cut also

Not because they deserve less but because it is necessary

After the budget is frozen we could reduce spending each year ACROSS THE BOARD by 1% till the budget was balanced

If you have to get the governments permission to enact in trade we have nothing like free trade.

As long as pumping of the markets is stopped.

We have to call it something

What do you expect, a paragraph of exceptions snd qualifications every time the term is used?

The Republicans don't have the power to cut taxes.

We are in a period of one-party D rule.

Further , the GOP doesn't even have a bully pulpit. The party's leader has been de-platformed.

Trump slashed taxes without a single Democratic vote

Democrats own the WH, House, and Senate. the problem with the cost of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the massive cost of waste / fraud in these programs; yet, Democrats have chosen not to address any of them. In true Democrat Form, the only thing the Democrats have done is to pour gasoline on record-setting deficit spending, putting their foot down on the gas pedal while insisting the tax rates go up 'for the richest Americans' which every economic expert says will hit Middle-Class small business owners HARD. It is ironic / hypocritical for Biden to insist Americans pay their fair share when he reportedly owes as much as $500,000 to the IRS).

Democrats, when in the minority, rebuked the GOP for not solving these problems. Now that they are in the majority they are making no effort to do anything about those programs nut they (you) are demanding the GOP, now in the minority, fix the problem.

:p



Democrats continue to prove they are fiscally irresponsible - criminally fiscally irresponsible. In order to pass another self/party-serving Porkulous bomb - while we are over $28 Trillion dollars in debt, Democrats waged a PR campaign in which they altered the definitions of words to insist that words that had nothing to do with 'Infrastructure' DID directly pertain to infrastructure. This was their initial laying the foundational basis to justify massive amounts of pork they planned to put into what they claim is a $3.5 Trillion dollar 'Infrastructure' bill, one the experts claim 1) the REAL cost will end up being more like $5.4 trillion dollars & 2) ONLY approx 10% of the $5.5 Trillion would be for Infrastructure.
-- Based on how criminally fiscally irresponsible the Democrats' actions are, packing this bill filled with SELF-serving pork, not critically needed infrastructure that would benefit the nation AND how they have made no effort to address the cost and fraud associated with the programs you 1st mentioned (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, etc...), your political theater of calling on the GOP, who is now in the minority, is nothing more than an attempt to excuse / justify Democrats' lack of action / fiscal responsibility and a defense for why, as the majority, THEY have not undertaken the actions you 1st mentioned.


In their rush past SS / Medicare / Medicaid / etc... on the way to packing trillions of self-serving pork in a Non-Infrastructure Infrastructure bill, you and Democrats look back over your shoulders and ask why the GOP, riding in the back of the bus, are not takin action to do something to fix those problems, despite the Democrats are the majority and are the ones driving the bus.

While True, neither did the Republicans when they had the White House, Senate and House.
