Tax cuts ??? Spending freeze ??? Are you kidding me ??? The tax cuts in 2001 & 2003 cost the federal government $4.4 Trillion. That would have paid for BOTH wars and the financial bailouts plus leave a surplus !!!! When the GOBP /teab___s say "spending freeze" here is what that talking point means: Unlimited, un-funded spending on anything deemed "defense" or "security". This is how Halliburton and Blackwater made $ Billions off the wars. Now Lockheed, etc. can contribute $ Zillions to GOBP/teab___r candidates and will be able to manufacture their ridiculous, obsolete weapons way into the future. This "plague on america" cannot be allowed to go forward and anyone who sanctions it is a cretin.

Whatever they say about shrinking government, they'll never reduce the military budget, stop the wars, or lower subsidies to big oil. But get rid of health and education departments, certainly.
