As far as I can see the voters who put the GOP in power are worried about open borders and immigration. They want Mr. Executive Order stopped. They want to repeal Obamacare.
I think everyone knows the spending is a forgone conclusion with the debt now off the charts and no one willing to seriously cut out whole agencies or major centers of power in Washington. That is never going to happen. So spending is never going to be cut in any meaningful way in light of the debt.
Under our Constitution the one office that can really cut spending is the President.
Unfortunately national television wants high consumer spending supported by government money and they control the national debate.
So we’re forced to try to cut spending by electing congressmen to do it. It’s very ‘iffy’ that we’ll succeed in time.
