Republicans and Smaller Government
Republicans preach tax reductions and spending reductions, but what we've been seeing is tax reductions (predominantly for the wealthy) with spending increases, all funded via additional debt which will eventually mean higher taxes plus interest for us all.
I'm not saying you should expect great fiscal responsibility from the Democrats, either, but the Republicans need to put up or shut up. Controlling spending? Who? Where? All I've seen in the past few years is a government grown bloated and corrupt with massive diversions of public funds into the pockets of private contractors and perks for politicians while one bill after another is introduced to protect the profits of large corporate benefactors at the expense of the pocketbooks and rights of American citizens.
