My head almost exploded when Chris Matthews was interviewing Fiorina today on FN Sunday. Seriously, he was asking “what would she cut” to reduce the skyrocketing deficit and she kept saying cut the waste first and then look at entitlements to those who are less than 55 years old. She also mentioned the Bush tax cuts should remain in place. He just kept after her refusing her answers.
She should have just said: I’d cut every entitlement created in the past two years and make sure Obama care is repealed. Fed hiring freeze and 10% across the board pay cut right now wouldn’t hurt either.
Dear God, please help us get control of this government!
Chris Wallace, not Matthews.
Carly could have also said don’t spend any remaining stimulus funds - about $200 billion. I don’t know why the GOP candidates are having such trouble with this issue.
Yeah, I saw Chris Wallace pumping her to frustration.
I know it was making me crazy.
She should have answered that one thing this economic nightmare has proven is how important jobs are not just to the individual but to society as a whole.
This year SS has a shortfall, more money is being paid out than is being collected. Why? Because so many people are out of work.
She should then have pointed out that when government programs do not spend their entire budget, they crash spend at the end of the fiscal year. Why? Because then they won’t get an increase in the next year’s budget.
She should have said that money being spent to study this that or whatever needs to be stopped. Private companies and investors should be doing this.
She should have said that states shouldn’t have to send such enormous sums to DC to be divied and allotted by career politicians who sell their votes for a few bucks in pork to insure their own reelection.
Yea, my head was about to explode too.
