What I think he cares about is another four years of spending. And that's his focus already. If he can get our freshmen to break their no new tax pledge he will kill us. If he can goad us into holding firm to no increase, he will kill us.

EV you know what would happen economically and socially if gov't spending were cut, overnight, by 45%. We would be slaughtered next fall. Sure we'd spend 2T less - until after the next elections!

He wasn't able to get us to break the tax pledge but he is sending us gently down the plank by goading us into sticking to no raise. IMO it will kill us.

This site is all about exchanging ideas - i've provided mine - CCB. What's your plan EV?

Stop borrowing against posterity’s liberty and prosperity. Return to the limits of the Enumerated Powers.

The idea that borrowing and spending this two and a half trillion dollars doesn’t amount to a tax increase is nonsense. It’s all money that the taxpayers will have to pay back, with interest.

We would be slaughtered next fall.

There's always another election. And we always hear the same old siren song.
