Let's REALLY Cut Government Spending!
President Bush, do we really need a prescription drug program tacked onto Medicare? At what point will seniors be responsible for paying for their own needs. At what point will younger people be free to spend their own money? If you are trying to get a bigger percentage of the Senior vote by pandering to them, you are selling out conservative principles of smaller government and self reliance. For one re-election campaign you are selling out every taxpayer for generations to come. Wouldn’t it be better to win another squeaker sticking to your principles than gain a few extra points by caving to the other side?
Maybe people are needy, but when has the government ever solved that problem? What’s wrong with a “compassionate conservatism” that teaches self- sufficiency and responsibility? It’s important to show the younger generation that the government won’t be there to pay for their old ages. Why should anyone save money when the government is ready to treat them like spoiled kids and ready to bail them out like rich parents? If every political idea is going to be attached to a government checkbook, then no problem will ever be solved, but new problems will continue to be created.
