The new contract on America promises to be more of the same. Allow me to sum it up.
- End all entitlement spending
- Turn SSI over to Wall street
- Privatize everything conceivable from highways to public schools
- Increase the massively bloated military budget
- Continue to reduce taxes for the ultra rich
- Allow businesses to suck the last little breath of life out of the country
In short these guys will nail the coffin shut. The idiots are still pushing trickle down economy as if it were something that works. Its stunning.
McClatchy: Is new Republican 'Pledge to America' all hat and no cattle?
The GOP plan, however, doesn't have much to say about some of the day's most pressing issues.
It doesn't address how to deal with the projected shortfalls in Social Security and Medicare, discuss how to wage or end the war in Afghanistan or deal with the U.S. mission in Iraq. Nor does it propose many spending cuts or detail how Republicans would offset the cost of the Bush tax reductions.
The new plan also advocates slashing discretionary spending, but it promises a robust defense and makes no mention of Medicare or Social Security.
