Close the Departments of Education and Energy. Cut every other agency in government by 10 percent. Stop all foreign aid.

“Close the Departments of Education and Energy. Cut every other Agency by 10 percent. Stop all foreign aid.”

The Republican House has the power to do all of these things but it’s leadership lacks either the courage to take a stand or the desire to really stop socialism. It is clear the Democrats have no intention of slowing spending except for the military. They are cleverly framing the debate in a way that forces the Republicans to take the blame if the budget talks fail or force the Republicans to abandon core principles in order to strike a deal. The Democrats are playing to win while the Republican leadership, as usual is playing a defensive game. Unfortunately politics as usual is destroying the nation. So far I haven’t seen that we are better off with a Republican House given the way Boehner is conducting himself. All we seem to have accomplished in 2010 is giving Obama a “Republican Congress” to run against in 2012. I’m beginning to believe the Dems have a winning strategy to retake the House in 2012’ keep the Senate, and return Obama to office.

You can’t win if you don’t fight. I see little fight in the Republicans against a Democrat Party prepared to do anything to control the levers of power.
