| richardhutnik said: All individuals in congress get elected based on what pork they bring back to their district. This is true even for Dr. No, Ron Paul, who would earmark everything his distrct wanted. The reality is that the GOP tends to run more on shrinking the size of the government. The reality of this shrinking is that people will support smaller government support for everyone else, except themselves, and government controls on everyone they don't like, and less for themselves. What you do see, on the Democratic presidential side is periodically commissions being run by the president to see if they can cut waste. Al Gore headed up one under Clinton. It is just done, not campaigned on. |
I'm going to guess that this is more of a continuation of my post, rather than a post against it?
