That worked so well for Walter Mondale (not to mention Bush the Elder).
The truth is, either government spending has to be cut, or taxes have to rise. And, if taxes rise, government spending will increase further.
First of all, who wants to vote for someone who plans to raise your taxes without cutting spending? That’s just plain stupid; like voting for such a clown. Secondly, I would say they MUST look at cutting gov’t. spending somewhere. If they can’t think of a way, then they need to ask the citizens. I bet there are many places where it can be cut. Of course the Biden administration has put us so deep in debt now, that it will take a lot of cuts to get us back where we should be.
