What is Republican economic policy?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Do things in the short term that stimulate 51% of Americans to vote for you again.

More like 25%. Remember, only half of Americans' actually vote in presidential elections. Even lesser numbers vote in other elections. Hardly a mandate.

Republican economic policy: roll back social welfare programs (particularly those that directly affect poor people), cut taxes for rich people and middle-income people (to a much lesser extent, granted, but still...), block any and all broad-based legislation that would actually help the poor, the working-poor, and the rest of the working population (such as minimum wage increases, extension of unemployment benefits, or spending programs like the stimulus bill, or Obamacare, or any jobs bill in Congress....) , and when all of the economic and social problems that inevitably occur from the resulting inequality and depressed consumer demand-blame it on Obama/the Democrats.
