Yes, I know, but he still pretends to be a moderate Republican on CNN.
Our country is beset by previously unheard of deficits that threaten the soundness of the currency and the ability of our children to afford to pay for anything other than the carrying cost on the debt, government created boom and bust cycles that devastate private balance sheets, inherently corrupt earmark appropriations, massive fraud, waste and abuse in federal and state programs, and signficant governmental constraints on private initiative. The ONLY answer to these problems is a systemic and rigorous reduction in the tasks government has assumed. The next Congress should not adopt a single new program. Its role should be to examine what the federal government does and eliminate those programs which are poorly run or are shown to have unacceptable unintended consequences, to reduce the deficit, and to eliminate or suspend federal regulatory requirements that inhibit private initiative and the creation of private sector jobs.
The "moderates" of the world do not acknowledge the truth of this or in fact even understand it.
