The Trend is your Friend

Dems are following a trend, being pushed by a wave of statist growth. The Reps are not willing or able to fight this present battle and they will ultimately loose the war.

Add that the GOP must pair its affinity for tax cuts with palatable proposals for spending cuts, shrinking government waste, and improving efficiency. One reason the Bush Administration’s tax cuts are unpopular is that they are financed with borrowing, even as we wage expensive wars and expand the federal role in education. The thing to understand about fiscal conservatism is that the bond between taxing and spending cannot be severed, at least in the long run.
