Did a search and this article did not pull up.

A very good essay by Cavuto. He has his head screwed on straight.

[Stew Padasso]

You got to like his style. He comes off very well on his show too.

The government can't put people to work.

Besides all the federal employees, the government lets out a lot of contracts to private industry. Maybe a plus side to that is contracts can be terminated easier, faster, and cheaper than firing government workers. The people employed by government contractore are........working; they are......employed.

"Maybe a plus side to that is contracts can be terminated easier, faster, and cheaper than firing government workers."

It makes sense to me, as long as it is something we must have.

Sorry, Neil, you're trying to close the barn doors after the horses died and the barn burned down.

Maybe we where better off when the Republicans where the minority. After 1994 the budget has shot up incredibly, and especially so during the Bush Administration. The problem is that now we have both parties interested in buying votes with our tax dollars. At least when we where in the minority we tried to slow down Democrat spending, if for no other reason than to throw a monkey wrench in to their works. Not so now when the parties are outbidding each other on who can "care" for us the most, and the President signing whatever comes to his desk.

I can't think of a single thing (that can be reasonably expected to happen) that can change things now.

A good depression is what we need. Then the tax base will shrink dramatically and so will gov't spending. Don't tell me they can just print money, because a hyperinflated dollar won't buy anything and we'll have budget shrinkage regardless.

I've changed my mind. The real reason we have this problem is not that the parties are trying to buy votes, but that the people want them to.

You cannot strengthin the weak by weakening the strong,
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men,
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich,
You cannot lift the wage earner
by pulling down the wage payer,
You cannot keep out of trouble
by spending more than your income,
You cannot futher the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatreds,
You cannot establish security on borrowed money,
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away a man's initive and independence,
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them
what they could and should do for themselves.

I'm still waiting for Gillespie to refute these statements. Until he does he can watch GOP donations to flatline.

[Stew Padasso]

You cannot take, without stealing.

[Stew Padasso]

Thanks for the post, I like that.

[Stew Padasso]

Really, to this day no response? Honestly, that surprises me. Considering the bruhaha it started.

[Stew Padasso]

"Maybe we where better off when the Republicans where the minority."

As a party, they certainly were a lot more scrappier in that position.

I'm not so sure now, not when I hear Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie telling the Manchester, New Hampshire, Union Leader that "the days of Reaganesque Republican railings against the expansion of federal government are over."

He really said that???

[billbears]

Oh come on. What he said and how it came across has been on FR for more than a few days now. It just confirms that the Republican Party isn't conservative, and doesn't plan to go that way again. Can't get votes that way. And we all know that's all it's about. Votes

Sorry .. I didn't see it and I wasn't aware of his comments. As much as I'd like to spend more time on FR ... I do have a family to tend after

[Mo1]

Thanks .. but I doubt Neil will email me back

Cavuto gets it right again, as usual. He has such a distinctive style and delivery, I can actually hear his voice in it.
