Is it Groundhog Day? Again?
The Republican Party has settled into a comfortable pattern in their politics today.
It revolves around managing reality for those that can not or choose not to manage reality for themselves.
Does not say much for the intelligence and education of the grass roots party base.
The #GOP said cut taxes, to grow the economy and create jobs:
The #GOP says job crushing regulation is creating uncertainty for small business(s) and entrepreneurs:
Today we hear loud and clear, lower taxes and less government regulation create certainty in order that small business(s) entrepreneurs will create jobs.
Eyes wide open people, what nice things has this policy brought to us in the past 12 years? Do you really want to repeat it, again and again, and again?

The #GOP said cut taxes, to grow the economy and create jobs:
- >10 years of George W. Bush tax cuts & extensions and no job creation!
The #GOP says job crushing regulation is creating uncertainty for small business(s) and entrepreneurs:
- All while congress fails to perform their constitutional role of legislative/regulatory oversight.
- Instead congress deregulates the financial services industry and allow Wall Street to cause the greatest recession since 1929.
- Rather than properly staff and fund remaining oversight agencies they withdraw support for oversight any oversight.
Today we hear loud and clear, lower taxes and less government regulation create certainty in order that small business(s) entrepreneurs will create jobs.

Starve the Beast
"The Beast" (government spending) has been starved of government revenue since the 2001 and 2003 Bush Tax Cuts. And since those first of the cuts, "the Beast" has borrowed to spend as Congress raised the debt ceiling on the United States public debt from $5.95 trillion to $14.294 trillion - a 140% or $8.344 trillion increase.
Where would we be if we returned to Clinton Era Tax Rates, letting the Bush Era Tax Cuts and extensions expire?
American citizens know a carnival barker when they see one:
Rather than proposing unpopular spending cuts, the #GOP pushed through popular tax cuts, with the deliberate intention of worsening the government’s fiscal position.
They now sell citizens spending cuts as a necessity rather than a choice as the only way to eliminate an unsustainable budget deficit.
Republicans insist that the deficit must be eliminated, but they’re not willing either to raise taxes or to support cuts in any major government programs.
This means they’re unwilling to participate in serious bipartisan discussions, either, because that might force them to explain their plan — and there isn’t any plan, except to regain power!
Eyes wide open people, the #GOP says, we don't have a revenue problem we have a spending problem:
I say, we have a partisan ideology problem. And the cure requires elimination of #GOP control of State Houses, Legislatures and from government control in Washington DC
