The need for decisive action

In this morning's news, there is a piece about how the Republican on the Senate appropriations committee want to cut about 20 billion dollars from Obama's proposed budget. While the Republicans obviously do not have the votes to cut anything, the idea that a $20 billion cut will matter is pure nonsense. some will say that $20 billion is a step in the right direction, but that misses the point. In a year and a half, the Democrats have upped the "normal" budget spending by more than half a trillion dollars. It is these spending increases that have to be rolled back. If the GOP takes control of congress and just tinkers around the edges, they are guaranteeing that there will be a bigger and more intrusive government for the next 50 years. The move has to be rolled back, not trimmed. The model is New Jersey's budget under Chis Christie. Just imagine what would happen we the GOP to actually opt for smaller government and to then enforce that decision over the screams of the Dems and the media. Would the American people back the GOP? I think so.
