“Does anyone expect that when he gets to Washington and starts running the government like a business, entitlements will reform themselves, the deficit will shrivel on its own accord, and Leviathan will shrink to a size where it can be domesticated and housebroken?”
And the oceans will stop rising and the earth will heal itself.SO TRUE.
If Romney wins, the GOP will have to capture Congress as well to make any significant changes.
Even at that, things would improve slightly. THAT is the best one can get at any time.
You're probably being realistic. I'd love to have someone ride into DC on Jan 20, 2013 and immediately demolish multiple agencies, get energy exploration going to the point we can thumb our noses at the Saudis, rid the nation of abortion and gay marriage, restore us to full employment, eliminate the entitlement mentality from our country and get rid of Obama care.
I really, really want this but what is realistic? I'd love to replace every member of congress with a true conservative--all agreeing with me, of course, but somehow I don't think that will happen.
I guess we're stuck with getting the best we can and calling it a victory. That means voting out every Democrat we can possibly get rid of.
