Keep It Simple

Democrats’ malfeasance triggered the crisis; BO’s statist agenda has prolonged it. Earlier, the masses didn’t quite get it. Now they do (although BO doesn’t know that).

Now what? Key of course - principle vs pocket book. If you believe as our nursery friends do that government control of free enterprise and a forced re-direction of financial resources by a selected few, is best, then of course you do what they do - vote that way, for the left party line, or we might say, what was the party line.

If instead you are concerned primarily with pocket book issues, then you look to remove the encumbrances major employers claim are responsible for their hoarding of cash, for their refusal to add to their payrolls. Your agent in this task may be the so-called Tea Party types, or perhaps others yet apparent. You really don’t care who or which, just that it is done.

Once that happens the recovery will take form. We all know the steps. First, stop the killing, stop the harm. That is for November. Next, build a stop gap (kill the health heist, reverse stimulus, iron in tax cuts). That is for 2011. Then finally, resurrect the Republic. That is for 2012.
