Repub debate - SOS and voodoo economics, too

Campaign for America's Future

MORNING MESSAGE

Robert Borosage
The Republican Debate: There He Blows

Amid tired bloviating, the debate was virtually devoid of ideas. It will come as no surprise that Republicans want to lower taxes, roll back regulation, shrink government, repeal Obamacare, repeal Dodd-Frank, increase the military budget, build a fence on the border, escalate our presence in conflicts from Iraq to Ukraine, and ban abortions ... All promised that this package will somehow produce rapid economic growth, a new American century and nirvana ... compared to homogenous patter of the rest of this gaggle of candidates, Trump’s bluster and outlandishness provide, at the very least, comic relief.

Lower taxes, less regulation is their panacea for most problems.

If those don't work, break out police thugs or the military to keep people in line.

Quite a crew...
