No, I think your comment is stupid.<br /><br />I haven't gathered that the SBA's record is "lousy", so I would be opposed to eliminiating it. I don't know a lot about it, but it sounds like a good idea to me. If their record is "lousy" how about we work on that instead of eliminating it?<br /><br />I also disagree with reducing foreign aid. I think we should substantially increase humantarian aid; although I believe we should substantially reduce miliary aid.<br /><br />In regards to #7 I think we need more tax brackets. Taxes should be higher than 39.6% for those making millions or billions. And as far as #1 goes, I think we can cut much more than 20 billion.<br /><br />So as far as your 14 points: Your right on #5, #6, #8, #9, #14. You're wrong on #3, #4, #10, #11, #12. You're partially right on #1, #7. I'd need more information to decide if you're right or wrong regarding #2 (although I think you're probably right), #13 (although I think you're probably wrong).Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-71739661098032606802011-04-24T19:36:26.676-07:002011-04-24T19:36:26.676-07:00Methinks you might be referring to fellows such as...Methinks you might be referring to fellows such as Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer.

It's really important, I think, for both parties to be involved here........................dmarks, I was really quite astonished at the poor track record of this agency. I was also surprised to learn that there are over 1,800 subsidy programs in total that the government helps to fund. You can't tell me that there aren't billions in savings to be had there.Will "take no prisoners" Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315659209094683602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-70240875311469056862011-04-24T04:53:30.565-07:002011-04-24T04:53:30.565-07:00"Eliminate the Small Business Administration&..."Eliminate the Small Business Administration"<br /><br />The predictable reactionary headline on leftist blogs would read:<br /><br />"Republicans Propose to Eliminate Small Business".dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-47624308292781694692011-04-23T21:16:12.733-07:002011-04-23T21:16:12.733-07:00Good list Will.
