I was hoping the Republicans learned something over the past two years. This pledge reads more like a lobbyist inspired attempt to trick the American people into believing things will change under a Republican majority.
Perfect example:
“Roll back non-discretionary spending to 2008 levels before TARP and stimulus.”
So they’ll still feed at the trough with earmarks at the same level as 2008... which just happens to be a year when earmarks were at record levels!
A real “pledge” would eliminate ALL earmarks!!!!
So the Republicans have changed.... they’ve exchanged stripes for spots, but they’re the same fat cat chasing after the Rats. While we foot the bill.
This socialistic agenda was a long time in the making, it’s
going to take a while to undo it. With the oversight of the
Tea party, I hope and pray that the Republicans do the right thing!
