Re: Re: Republicans offer empty "plan"
I would agree that this is some low-hanging fruit, and sooner or later defense and entitlements, which is most of the budget, will need to be dealt with. But you have to start somewhere, and the government is doing a LOT of things it shouldn't be.
There's at least a principle at work here: the idea that government needs to be smaller, instead of much, much bigger.
The Democratic budget plan for the past forty years has been "government should be infinite in size, and we'll just keep raising taxes to pay for it." This hasn't worked well elsewhere.
