Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: None of the Republican candidates have reasonable budget proposals

[quote name="blackwater"]http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21684780-republican-candidates-tax-plans-are-welcome-their-detail-not-their-contents-be Maybe the best we can hope for is Hillary plus a Replican House and Senate, leading to a completely gridlocked government. Can we just have a president that goes golfing at 2pm every day? Think about how awesome the last few years would have been if we had a modern-day Calvin Coolidge in office who just spent his time improving his golf swing. No trillion-dollar mistake in Iraq. No healthcare.gov fiasco. No US boots on the ground in Syria or Afghanistan. Goldman Sachs and the rest would have gone broke during the financial crisis (assuming there still was one). Queers getting married isn't the State's business. Now getting out of the sand trap on hole 3, that is the business of a real Chief Executive. But we don't have any real conservatives any more in this country. Just inbred bible-thumpers and neocons. Eisenhower wouldn't have even shaken hands with any of these clowns.[/quote]
