Cut the size of Government, give taxpayers back their money, depend on the private sector for solutions to whatever ails us. Our nation is still in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression because of failed Right Wing policies, and Obama has now come fully around to pushing the Republican backed response; more cut taxes.
Obama partially caved on the first stimulus package and cut back on direct government job creating investment in key initiatives in order to carve out hundreds of billions more in tax cuts, cuts that few even know he even gave them. The result was insufficient stimulus and vastly hyped up fears about the growing Federal deficit, leading to the current virtual red light on any more new federal expenditures, even ones "fully paid for" with savings elsewhere.
Now Obama hammers Democrats to back adding virtually a trillion dollars more to the deficit over the next two years, the overwhelming majority of it the result of more tax cuts with zero spending on our infrastructure. That's Reaganism, pure and simple. It's a total Democratic ideological capitulation, with far reaching negative implications for average Americans. This is Obama's NAFTA moment. The Democratic Party got on baord for that ride also. Tighten your seat belts, we're going down.
