Predictable Prescription

Sharing

President Obama loves a laugh line he uttered during his convention speech and is now on tour with it, using it to stoke up his campaign whistle stops.

Obama told us that Republican policy amounts to this: “Have a surplus? Try a tax cut. Deficit too high? Try another. Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations and call us in the morning.”

Obama is correct that tax cuts don’t magically cure behemoth deficits or leviathan debt. And, frankly, Republicans are often as loathe as Democrats to cut — really cut — government spending.

But it’s not as if Obama were the Lone Ranger when it comes to hacking away at the federal octopus, constantly proposing only balanced budgets and demanding shutdowns of federal agencies and programs. No. Obama, like so many in DC, demands ever higher spending, ever higher taxes, ever more regulations — as exemplified by Obamacare. The president demonizes as Darwinian dastards all who support even vanishingly small reductions in projected increases in spending.

If the GOP plays a one-​note tune of tax cuts, ad infinitum, the Democrats’ have their own long-​playing record spinning around and around: the idea of government as the solution to every problem. But whatever “fiscal irresponsibility equivalence” exists between Republicans, who want to cut taxes in the face of trillion-​dollar a year deficits, and Democrats, who want to keep spending more, the underlying issue remains whether we need more government or less.

Take less government, less spending, lower taxes, and call me on election morning.

This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

and who is it that proposes all that you seek Paul? Its Gary Johnson! So why not say it. Are you also shutting off his oxygen? He is not just running for president. He is trying to save us from the destroying ourselves. But he needs help.

So how many votes was it that Presbo’s budget got in Congress? Was it like 3? Such good ideas that his own party disowns them? And even more interesting, if his idea of a budget was so bad that even the Reid/​party-​controlled Senate ran from it, then who were the near brain-​dead Senators that were actually willing to sign on to something such a patently bad idea?

So you vote for gary Johnsomn, who has as much chance to win as a snowball in a turned on pizza oven, and Obama wins.

And there areTHREE (or more) Supreme Court justices 9one with cancer) and Obama appoints ERIC HOLDER AND HIS ILK (as he has done) to the Supreme Court.

AND WHERE IS OUR COUNTRY THEN?/

OH WAIT, YOU MADE YOUR POINT. ROMNEY ISN’T A ” TRUE ’ CONSERVATIVE”., AS YOU SEE THE US TTURN INTO A 3RD WORLD – IF LUCK, COUNTRY.
