    I'd like to see us cut ALL spending, including military spending. By like 10-12% minimum. I don't care how much it hurts. I hate all of our politicians. I am old enough to remember when the GOP was the fiscal responsibility party. Now everyone is tax and spend. It's disgusting.

    No. Dems are still tax and spend. GOP is borrow and spend. It’s a real difference.

    The neo libs have some concept of economic reality if very dim. The progressives currently making a case for leadership of the party have none.

    Not a point we disagree about. Unfortunately, the GOP’s embrace of economic lunacy has inspired an equal and opposite overreaction.

    Dems want to spend trillions more than Republicans but to a leftard attorney this is equivalent if not the more fiscally responsible alternative.
