According to Politico.com, the Republicans has unveiled their alternative budget plan. Just for the record, I have not been a big fan of the Republican Party in recent years. The only good thing I can say about them at times is that they are the second worst political party in the country. That having been said, they are making a few good moves lately.
Yesterday they introduced an alternative plan to deal with the housing crisis. Today they have introduced an alternative to President Obama's budget. We desperately need an alternative--not just a 'no'.
According to the article, these are the basics of the Republican budge plan:
"The principles in the Republican budget will sound familiar: "limits the federal budget from growing faster than the family budget, ... provides universal access to health care and secures entitlements, ... lowers taxes, ... keeps energy and fuel costs low, ... ends the bailouts and reforms the financial system, ... keep the cost of living low.""
The burden of taxes that President Obama's budget will put on present and future generations is irresponsible and will also put a drag on any economic growth. Cap and trade will kill the American economy for years to come. An alternative budget is definitely needed and I hope the proposals made will be considered carefully. Meanwhile, get the name of the people who are organizing the 'tea parties' for April 15!
