“Santorum’s voting record promises to resume funding to social programs, etc., from debt/revenues and tax hikes.”
None of the candidates, not even Paul, will meaningfully trim government expenditures.
Like I said, I’m not happy about having to support Santorum, but I simply can’t support Newt. I can’t do it - and neither can the vast majority of Republicans.
Thanks for the honest and analytical reply. I’m seeing from the whole political picture, IMO, that we’ll each need to prepare ourselves for a repudiation, currency adjustment and more of an agricultural economy. We’ve seen what is sometimes erroneously referred to by opinion writers as a technocracy, but we’ll more likely see the real thing on the other side of the collapse (government influenced more by engineers and technicians). Not a problem for me.
