This is very good. Thanks Hunter and Tancredo. Maybe we should loook at these two for President/Vice President.

On Federal Spending:
The federal government is in debt because it spends too much, not because it taxes people too little. Government spending is classified as either discretionary or mandatory. Discretionary spending includes funds for things like the military and is explicitly set by Congress on an annual basis. But the major culprit in ballooning budgets is mandatory spending for entitlement programs like medicare, expenditures which are determined by the number of beneficiaries. The only way to control the budget is to reform the entitlement programs that mandatory spending funds. Those decisions on how to allocate resources are as economically necessary as they are politically and ethically difficult.

That would indeed be the best combination for America.
But the power elites in the Republican Party are blocking them. The money machers in the Republican Party are opposed to Hunter’s illegal alien policies and resent his statements about foreign trade to the effect that it should benefit America. Ditto to Tancredo. But they would have my vote, support and money.
