It's been an oft-repeated belief that government spending is crowding out private spending. It's also a well-regarded opinion in conservative circles that the US Government must stay within its budget.
So don't even bother with trying to extract spending cut concessions from Democrats; just push your representative and senator to keep the debt ceiling in place!
You see, by keeping the debt ceiling in place, it forces the US to automatically live within its means and make the same 30% cuts in spending that your Tea Party friends in Congress had been pushing. If you believe that private spending is being crowded out by public spending, then a 30% cut should result in a huge jobs gain in the private sector, right?
Don't let your Republican politician weasel his or her way out of election promises to see those steep cuts through: put pressure on your representatives at local meet and greets! Push them to cut that upper income tax bracket down to an unheard of 25% top rate that was included in the Paul Ryan plan, while at the same time cutting spending. But most of all, push them to do nothing to compromise with Democrats to move the debt ceiling.
But remember this: If Republicans stand pat, but the economy crumbles and shit hits the fan globally, you have a steep price to pay. The cost of failure, is to admit you were wrong and stop blaming others.
