I believe the Republican resurgence in 2010 will retake control of Congress.
In fact, I think that the above statement is a given. Why am I not happy?
I am far from happy. I am fearful. The Republicans are coming to town without a clear plan, without direction, without expressed objectives, without a timetable, and perhaps worst of all, without a leader.
It is essential for our national recovery that an easily understood, step by step plan be put forward, promoted, and thoroughly explained. Who will lead?
The GOP must lead forward. If we fail, the country will plunge into the political paralysis forecast by Pat Buchanan in his last column.
It is simply not enough for us to win in November. We have to win, and hit the ground running. We need an immediate score in our opening set of downs.
It's pretty obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.
If you were, we would NOT be having this discussion about whether we should balance the federal budget.
You miss the point entirely. Nobody doubts the wisdom of a balanced budget. What I'm pointing out is that the budget will not be balanced unless some hard choices are made, and Kudlow entirely avoids that fact, as do all the Democrats and virtually all the Republicans in Washington. He delivers a very nice address that says absolutely nothing. The time for platitudes masquerading as solutions is past. We're not going to solve this problem or bring the budget into balance without tackling Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security. I'd like to see people facing up to that.
