--snip--

To try to get America back on its feet, the Republicans in Congress need to keep things simple and be downright tough. The program needs to include 1) across-the-board serious budget cuts (10% plus a year) in every department; 2) refuse to fund ObamaCare, period; 3) stop so-called greenhouse gas regulation outright before it cripples American industry based on junk science; and 4) make individual liberty and its promotion the touchstone of any government program, thereby expanding the reach and appeal of the GOP and recalling it to its roots...

Keep up the fight for constitutional solutions. It works. Socialism does not. The scorned communists in the Press are going to howl and moan. All the propaganda about the poor the blacks and the homeless that they have been unable to promote...because of Democrat control... will now flood the airways. They finally have a target again.

Let’s start with the 2008 budget: 100% cuts on everything beyond the 2008 budget. Then we can cut 10% a year where appropriate from that level. If we start at today’s psychotic and wasteful budget, 10% a year will take longer than we have to get in balance.

“2) refuse to fund ObamaCare”

Refuse to fund? Refuse to fund a bill that was never passed but “deemed” as passed? Pelosi couldn’t even get her own fellow crooks to vote for the train wreck called Obamacare. Now they want to “defund” it?????

I just don’t understand such thinking on the part of Reublicans.

I hope this is sarcasm because it makes no sense otherwise.

“As I recall the news at the time, there weren’t enough votes and the healthcare bill was not passed, so Nancy Pelosi said, “We’ll “deem” it passed.
Is that not true?”

It’s true that it makes no sense, but that didn’t stop them.
