The debt is bad. Tax and spending Dems make it worse. Govt should be transportation, foreign relations, and military only.

Under those conditions the US would have gone under back in the stagflation of the 80s, well before communism fell even.

It is called smaller govt and fiscal sanity.  Even with Dems in control of a vastly decreased fed govt, tax revenue incurred via that side of the aisle's economic ideology would help in the short term.  Even so, I am for people having more control over a complete paycheck and not zapped with percentages for x, y, and z social experiment.  I am for privatization, innovation, and the idea that local govt knows best not a bloated centralized system in Washington.  I favor streamlining as well.
