GOP should echo Summers' call for tax cuts, and more, now

Tagged:

Recent events demand that our presidential candidates (as well as elected officials and chattering class) add some items to their agenda now, while the Summers-iron in winter is hot.

Former Treasury Secretary and Harvard College President, Larry Summers, now liberated from the PC world that crucified and excommunicated him for stating the obvious fact that men and women are different, is advocating large tax cuts, now, IN ADDITION TO MAKING THE BUSH TAX CUTS PERMANENT in 2009, in order to ensure that the US avoids a recession made possible by high gas prices and the sub-prime credit crunch.

God bless this man. His proposal reminds me of the wisdom of then President and Vice-President elect Bush and Cheney's call for tax cuts in order to combat the recession they saw post the Tech-stock bubble.

The candidates and elected Republicans should also demand repeal of the recently passed and ignobly signed by President Bush energy bill that I and David Hinz consider his first true sell out to the Dems. (His other transgressions were telegraphed via his 2000 campaign)

See HinzSight wisdom on energy bill here.

These issues, as well as the Dem's opposition to tough illegal immigration measures and the link to the Dem's obvious plan to allow illegals to vote via motor-voter laws; weakness on defense; and hostility to Americans of faith and the life issue should ensure a GOP victory in the Race 4 2008.

Our candidates should also emphasize the need to ensure our capability and will to secure Pakistan's nukes via US special ops military action , if necessary, as well as stability and support or Pervez Musharraf, now, in the aftermath of the assassination of Bhutto.

If we call out the Dem's dependence on illegal voters, appeasement foreign policy, food price raising global warming religion, and the above, we can escape the minority next year.

We should also call for a cut in federal gasoline prices and make speeches in low income neighborhoods on this. We should beat Dems to the punch in appealing to lower income families that are squeezed by gas and "sin" taxes, as well as the credit crunch.

We could be issuing Majority Reports in two years if we do all this.
