"The Republican Party is taking more of the blame than the Democrats for a do-nothing Congress. A record-high
50% say that the current Congress has accomplished less than other recent Congresses, and by nearly two-to-one
(40% to 23%) more blame Republican leaders than Democratic leaders for this.

By wide margins, the GOP is seen as the party that is more extreme in its positions, less willing to work with the
other side to get things done, and less honest and ethical in the way it governs. And for the first time in over two
years, the Democratic Party has gained the edge as the party better able to manage the federal government."

CUTTING TAXES DOES REDUCE REVENUE......GOVERNMENT REVENUE....

the problem is that the government has so many pet programs that are inefficient that they affect only the few that some feel-good legislation legislators deem important and then tack on mandates to them....we get saddled with
crap all the time....crap that isn't our government's business......

government should not be regarded as this cute cuddly fuzzy 'teddy-bear' that we should cuddle up with......

it's a machine.....inefficient at best or shall I say beast.....

'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first'- Ronald Reagan

except that their is evidence that shows that cutting taxes actually spurs the economy -- which then leads to INCREASED government revenue from taxes     (JFK and Reagan proved that during their presidencies)

the problem is that Congress (both when the GOP and when the Dems control it) will always find a way to spend the additional money

you just explained why BOTH parties need enemas......so either way we have this stupid circular conversation and continue to press crappy olives for crappy olive oil, albeit high fructose
corn syrup via government food stamps and Mrs. Heinz-Kerry.......

At the moment - neither party has particularly good leadership in Congress.

The reason you see clowns like Pelosi, Boehner, Reid, and McConnell in leadership positions that no one else that has integrity will run for congress. integrity is the first thing you need to compromise due to the money  needed to win.

The entire GOP slate of candidates for president, except for Paul, are no different then the liberal socialists. They are all a  laughable joke!! Voting for anyone but Paul, will continue to keep this country on it's present path. It's been in the process for decades!! Paul is the only one trying to stop this beast of a run-a-way big government train!! The rest are all one in the same!!

Bumble is in for a huge dissapointment.
