We’re handing out nearly a trillion dollars per year in welfare payments. We’re handing out more in unemployment benefits. These massive deficit builders accomplish little for the future of our nation.

Tax cuts do spur job creation, and that does a great deal for our future. It reduces welfare and jobless outlays. In Reagan’s day, it doubled government receipts during his presidency. The down side? The Democrats tripled spending. And no, the military buildup after Carter decimated it wasn’t the whole cause.

Dump Obamacare. Transmit the idea to potential employers that you aren’t going to destroy them. Reduce welfare payments with the promise it will be 25% of what it is today, in three years. Then proceed to put that into action.

Welfare was impacted under Clinton. People didn’t go hungry. They went out and got jobs.

We should be very careful about true jobs figures though, because under Clinton you could be working very few hours under welfare to work, and still be counted as being employed.

Those darn Democrats do that every time. And under both Bush's too. And they managed to spend in spite of Boehner taking over the House, even though there is no filibuster in the House.

But dont worry, Romney will be different you can bet on it, but if he doesnt I bet we will be told that deficits are good again. So it wont matter how big they get if they are good again. And it wont be his fault. It will be those Demy-crats that do it, if it is bad, but not if it is good.
