1. Tax cuts that enabled a speedy recovery from the devastation following 9/11, an unemployment rate nearing 4%, and a significant movement of "middle class" Americans moving to the "Upper Class" ( I despise the language, but the statistical demarcations labeled as such).
2. I'll give you that one. Once, again Statist giveaways to avoid political damage from "grandma has to choose between her going without her meds or eating cat food" rot.
3. An economic meltdown precipitated by banking and housing market policies of the Clinton administration.
4. Again, I have to concede that. Ridiculous wars not focused on victory, but on public relations, resulting in unnecessary loss of American life and resources without accomplishing anything in the real of positive opinion abroad.
You seem to assume that there are real cuts coming. There is still $1.3 trillion in deficit spending in Obama's "budget". Combine that with increased uncertainty and cost from tax cuts and potential regulation from a Obama administration willing to circumvent Congress, not to mention the astounding devaluation of the currency from debt monetization, and we have a serious problem on our hands. Only the ignorant or willfully blind are unaware of it.
