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?
No it is not. Shrinking the pie of available dollars, and then giving a larger slice of the Pie to the military, cuts into what is left over for Domestic Investigatory, and Regulatory departments. (I.E. who do you want to have more money, the Military or the IRS?)
