I was more interested in why you think maintaining or increasing spending by massively bloated state and federal governments is preferable to taking that money out of their proven wasteful hands and giving it back to the citizens who earned it to spend as they see fit.
That was why I commented. I don’t know yet who I am going to vote for at a federal level, but what this country needs is someone who can slash spending by government the way Scott Walker has, and can return at least some of it to the people who earned it.
I deliberately use the term “slash”. It has to be bloody and messy, but if we don’t do it at all levels, from towns to federal, then the issues aren’t going to get fixed.
We will be “Greeced”, or “Greased”, both mean the same thing.
I don’t know much about Walker, living in a blue state myself, I have far more to worry about. I am not interested in his blockage or un-blockage of open records for whatever reason, but I saw how he handled out of control spending and funding of state unions, and we need more of that from some candidate. Not many have done it.
I didn’t say I was against tax cuts and reduced spending. For it to be successful in growing the economy, these have to be knowledgeable cuts by someone who knows what they are doing to be successful.
Clearly, what Wisconsin is doing is not growing their economy which is at about half the growth rate of the stagnant national economy.
