I jumped onto another online debate with several liberals regarding the economy.  Here was one of my posts:

Blink wrote, "So according to Mullman et al, the responsible thing for Steven McGovern to do with regard to his grandkids is not to pay more taxes to cover the debt, but to demand more tax cuts from Obama and then to use that money to go shopping for himself!"

Blink typically mis-characterizes my opinion with false assumptions and non-facts.

In my opinion, the best way to solve our current economic troubles involve two simple steps:

1) STOP GOVERNMENT SPENDING.  Every dollar the government spends used to be a dollar in the pocket of an American who had to EARN it.  When the Congress becomes good stewards of our money then many of our problems will go away.

2) Let people keep the money they EARN so they can use it in a free market to buy the goods they want and need.  This will allow natural market forces to do what they do.  As long as the government continues to interfere with those market forces and pick the winners and losers in our economy then our economic woes will continue.  The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer and most of the middle class will end up in the lower class.  But perhaps that is exactly what the liberals want because then they will be able to rationalize the creation of even more controls over our lives.

As I pointed out in my earlier post, JFK, Reagan, and George W, all proved that cutting taxes across the board leads to a stronger economy.  Combine that with a Congress who stops wasting all our money on their pet projects and we will be in great economic shape within months to a year.  The whole culture of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" that has become popular in Washington must end.  Ron Kind gets a million dollar program for Western Wisconsin but he has to vote in favor of a multi-million dollar project in California in order to get it.  No one wins and the taxpayers lose every time.  If that kind of mentality is allowed to proceed then we will continue the downward spiral of the Obama/Pelosi/Kind plan and spend our way into oblivion.

In short, the answer is LESS GOVERNMENT.
