The conservative smaller government pipe dream? Fine.

The spending cuts can come before the tax cuts. Tax cuts first will just pile on the debt.

I just like the whole “run the government like a business” line that accompanies candidates like her, Romney and Trump. No business person anywhere, ever, in the entirety of recorded history has espoused reduced revenue as a goal. The famous, if trite, saying in financial circles is “if you’re not growing you’re dying.” Everyone in business wants their company to succeed, and like it or not in a capitalist system we measure success by growth, or at least increased profitability. In other words, increased net revenue.

Republicans, in their infinite capacity for cognitive dissonance think that running the government like a business is the same as running it into the ground.
