we need reform badly, but what the Democrats are pushing for we do not need. Republicans have offered several reasonable alternatives that nobody is paying any attention to.
Ignore the recession/depression, zero government interference.
Much less interference in the private sector. no more bailouts and propping up of dead zombie companies and banks.
That leaves us with the massive debt we were saddled with by Bush. How shall we pay for it? Income tax increases?"
quit trying to blame everything on Bush, except for a few years in the nineties with a Republican majority,congress has been on a spending spree for decades. We have to CUT! and I mean government, all departments, all benefits. we CANNOT pay this bill with tax increases. It will be cuts and/or inflation to pay the debt.
Do you guys agree with no new programs at all? Yes! no new programs. In fact there are programs that should be eliminated or no?
Do you agree with zero government interference with the economy? Yes or no? government should leave as small a footprint as possible.
How do you want to pay for the massive debt we already have today, leftover from the past? Tax raises, or cutting current services? Which services should be cut?
Like I said, we must cut, government has been growing unabated in good times and bad. how long can that happen before it chokes all the oxygen out of the system? we're seeing it now.

for a lifelong Republican you ask some pretty strange questions.
what are your ideas? let me guess, no cuts, more government programs and higher taxes will balance the budget?
