I hope the GOP will CUT CUT CUT.
The Federal Government isn't needed or in my case wanted. We could do everything the Feds do at the state level. I would love to see the Federal Government neutered and possibly even eliminated. That would be a great first step.
As far as austerity goes...we can't keep spending money we don't have. What do you propose we do?

German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's "austerity measures and reforms of the German labour market and social system" from 2003-2005.
Harshly criticized and contested by many (mostly from the left) at the time, but turned out to be demonstrably successful in the long-term.
Austerity does work... IF implemented correctly.
