Neo Conservatives are an appropriate label for Republicans that are vying for power and control of big government. The Neo Conservatives and Progressives are two teams competing for a finite resource of other people’s money. Their end game is to pick winners and losers utilizing the tax code to acquire campaign donations and favors to broaden their power and control in D.C. They are completely self motivated and will do anything to stay in power, even if that means lying and distorting the truth to acquire more of it. This group maintains control of the Republican party coffers. They are extremely influential in picking their candidate, i.e. John McCain in the last election. Andrew Jackson had his warts and pimples but he did get rid of the notion of a central bank and the country had minimal debt.

I always tell a neocon that China is in surplus because of two things. One a Chinese businessman is Chinese first, Chinese second and Chinese third. They do not forget who they are. While American businessmen are money first, money second and money third. He is not an American. Second the last twenty years China’s business was economics and business. While the last twenty years the US was in search of an enemy (to replace the Soviet Union) to fuel its military R&D and bureacracy. America spent the last twenty years making war its business. Many of these notions are driven by the neocon concept that the US should take its hypersuperpower status and use it or lose it. Agree or disagree, what is the result of this policy, more countries hate us, and we are broke. China is not exactly loved, but she is not the target of hate like the US and more important she has jobs for her people and a surplus in her Treasury. Granted big gov policies played a role in our financial situation, but making war also adds to our deficits.

Beautifully put. I wish more understood that just voting form someone, anyone with an R after their name will not necessarily improve things.
