Fine, I'll answer the call.

Yes, if I were elected president, I'd implement a 50% cut in ALL government budgets - across the board. Right from Day #1.

The best way to solve the underlying problems that create a recession or depression is to let the free market work its magic and correct itself. But of course I'm sure the concept of that is lost on a gubmint bureaucrat as part of the brain-erasing sessions they give you as part of training.

The more government gets involved, the worse things will get. Guaranteed.

I actually agree to a point with Congress and GWB (did I actually just agree with Bush?) that the best way to offset a recession is to give people back their own money. The only problems I see with the so-called "stimulus package" are that (1) it doesn't represent enough $$$ per household to be significant and (2) it excludes the wealthy, who represent the drivers of the consumer economy.

You give people notice and phase the cuts in over time, but you make the cuts. This way they can learn to be productive members of society, entepreneurs, employees and go-getters instead of do-nothing government bureaucrats.

There, is that what you wanted to hear?
