When the going gets tough, the tough get BACK TO BASICS
I agree: I really think America wants a government that is small and unobtrusive yet effective and competent in the actions it does take.
The Bush admin and GOP of this decade managed to make government big, obtrusive and incompetent at at the same time.
I want a federal government which:
1. cuts taxes
2. cuts spending
3. balances budgets (and does not pass on the costs of government to our kids!)
4. actually wins the wars we fight (and when we fight, make them fight *all* of us, we all sacrifice for victory -pay taxes, forgo luxuries, drive smaller cars, grow victory gardens, donate blood, etc. - not think “shopping” is our only patriotic obligation)
5. protect from force and fraud
6. maintain basic law and order
7. in pretty much all other manners, leave peaceful consenting adults to do as they please
“That government is best which governs least”
Anyone with me?
