Some of the points in the plan:
Permanently extend all the Bush tax cuts, including those on the wealthy.
Cancel all unspent stimulus money. As of today, about $258 billion of the $814 billion stimulus is unspent.
Repeal the Obama health care bill, replacing it with Republican proposals, including limits on malpractice lawsuits.
Block Obama's plan to move detainees at Guantanamo Bay to the United States.

So I guess they aren't all that serious about the deficit, if they're going to extend the tax cuts....

Gonna be a rocky ride folks, from the frying pan into the fire we go.

The parasite red states can't survive with massive infusions of cash from the blue states. Alaska elected palin and it takes in $5 in federal money for every $1 of taxes paid. Sounds like a bunch of socialist welfare types to me.baha wrote:The Republicans have shot themselves in the foot. Their right wing policies have failed miserably so the answer must be move further to the right. I will be amazed if a single tea party candidate is elected. We need to just break into two countrys, one left and one right and see who survives.

We will fight to increase access to domestic energy sources and oppose attempts to impose a national “cap and trade” energy tax.

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
