Republican Fudge-it

A budget without numbers...that is only one of the many issues with the alternative budget released by the Republican party this past week. Upon reading the budget (yes I actually read it...with difficulty), we discover that, like many pundits have been saying, there is nothing new in the 19 pages of crap-ola. One phrase that kept popping up in the beginning of the very thin document is the following "Republicans seek to ensure that the federal budget cannot grow faster than families' ability to pay the bill." Interestingly enough, the Republicans offer no feasible plan to battle what they see as the injustice being done to the American taxpayer. They simply promise to undo what the Democrats have done in terms of spending. This brings me back to the notable absence of numbers.Though there is a nifty little graph showing the expansion of government spending over the last nine years and the projected spending for the next ten years, the lovely GOPPers have conveniently forgotten to include numbers that would back up and enhance their rather vague proposals. The biggest problem with this document is that though it describes certain positions that the GOPPers have been spouting for the last four to five months , there is absolutely no foundation from which to build on these ideas, if they can be called ideas. From my point-of-view, these proposals are only meant to boost the Republican image with everyday Americans. They are simply a way to make it seem as though the GOPPers are actually taking into account the needs of us regulars when actually they are more interested in those higher up. The only actual number to be found (that doesn't bash Democrats) promises higher tax breaks to the upper class. This one glimmer of sanity that barely makes this a "budget" goes against the pro-regular American stance that GOPPers have been taking lately.
The full Republican budget is to be released on April 1st, this for me is the last time our dear GOPPers have to redeem themselves. Hopefully this time around it will all make sense. I doubt it but hope remains.
