not sure the jmfcst fits in the GOP.

I can't really find anyone in the GOP with whom I agree.

Is there anyone in the GOP willing to publically declare they would trade $10 in budget cuts for $1 in tax increases?

Is there anyone in the GOP willing to publically admit that Bush43 was very naive to believe we could bring democracy to the Muslims by overthrowing their regimes?  Is there anyone in the GOP willing to publically declare we should pull out of Afghanistan?

Bush 43 was worse than naive in believing he was the savior of mankind.

We should bail on Afghanistan.

$10 in tax cuts simply isn't on the table, only the $1 in tax increases. What is called a "cut" is really a reduction in the rate of increase. Noone has advocated actually cuts, save Ron Paul.

Government increasing with the size of economy to fullfill it's obligations is status quo. So it is a cut.

Sorry, the cost of defending three hundred million Americans from foreign invasion is the same as the cost of defending two hundred million, or four hundred million. It is the same if the GDP is 5 trillion, 15 trillion, or 50 trillion.

While spending more just because the GNP expands might be the "status quo," it doesn't alter the fact that such outlays are an increase in spending.

We are talking about actual useful functions of the government like welfare of it's citizens,  not imperialistic adventures.

We are talking about total spending, which includes military spending as much as "welfare."
