Republicans Want To Cut Federal Spending But Have No Idea What Programs To Cut
Part of the GOP’s election strategy this year has been to try to claim that it is the Party of fiscal conservatism. As part of that campaign, Republicans regularly repeat the mantra that in order to get the deficit under control, the federal government needs to “cut spending” (despite also calling for $700 billion in tax cuts for the wealthy that aren’t paid for). They argue that if they were in control of government they would do just that. But all too often, when asked what spending cuts they would enact, Republicans don’t have an answer.
Of course they don’t have an answer because they are only repeating the tired old Republican matra of “cut spending”, “cut taxes”. It’s the same thing as using the words “god”, “country” and “freedom” 200 times in a speech, they mean nothing and are only uttered in order to trip the “buzz word” switch in their constituent’s minds.
150% full of shit.
