Who dislikes government spending? Those that actually have Money getting Taken from them. Get it? Shrink the size of those dependant on Government, and increase the size of those being taxed.
Cutting Taxes, while Increasing the Military IS shrinking Government.
The tax cut was pitiable, but probably the best he could get in this atmosphere.
And, while justified, I don’t know how on earth you can say increasing the military is shrinking government. That’s nonsensical.
And, while I support privatization of Social Security, I don’t know how that would possibly qualify as a “huge blow to Gov. spending” or anti-tax. The plans to allow a small portion of our social security taxes to be invested in the stock market do not include any decrease in the percentage confiscated from us. It merely allows us, in theory, a better return on our forced investment. The issues aren’t even tangently related.
Adjusted, non-military, federal government spending is still growing. I didn’t vote for that. Get it?
Or...or it is merely increasing the national debt. Cutting taxes doesn't mean cutting government spending, even non-military spending. It just means less revenue.
