It goes without saying that they have forfeited forever even the slightest consideration for their corporate welfare schemes that allow Obozo's business buddies like General Electric to make multi billion dollar profits year after year while being excused from corporate income taxes.
It also goes without saying that excessive spending goes the way of the dodo bird now and forever. To those who say it cannot be cut: Eliminate many of the grossly unconstitutional barnacles leeching off the government. We can live without: Foreign aid, any and all commissions dealing with "civil rights" and all their personnel, most State Department functions, imperial living standards enjoyed at our embassies, excess (most of it) funding for "leadership" staffs in both House and Senate, the entire Commerce, Labor, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development Departments, Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco and Firearms, VISTA, the Peace Corps, all jobs in all cabinet departments and non-cabinet levels other than the Defense Department and U. S. Marshall's Service and Secret Service and Border Patrol and FBI, that claim a right to be armed (usually with fully automatic weapons and mountains of hollow point .45 ammo) like the Social Security System, etc., etc., etc.
I am surprised how many people here actually agree with me. I mean when you lower the taxes on the people who run the country what do you get? People who are willing to spend everyone Else’s money. I mean government is now 35%of the economy and you consider the contracts, the subsides and earmarks due to crony capitalism then you understand why these people are no longer interested in cutting spending. I never heard of big government conservatives thirty years ago when we started lowering their taxes. I think that term is just a term for people who are not paying enough taxes.
