The “pledge” isn’t bold at all.
In fact it is timid.
Republicans are not going to stay in office even if they win in November if they don’t shrink government in real terms, not just trimming around the edges.
“Republicans are not going to stay in office even if they win in November if they don’t shrink government in real terms, not just trimming around the edges.”
Good point. And the thing is, I think that really should be a winning political issue, as well as the necessary thing to do. All they would need to do is point out examples of excessive government waste and corruption, and then use that to get the public on their side to start chopping away at the fat. It doesn’t have to feel like going to the dentist...
