Asserts the conservative Republican commentator in Washington, D.C.: "Means testing, targeted tax increases on the wealthy, raising the
retirement age — all proposed ways to keep Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid going as they are — all simply grow the American welfare
state, increase dependence of working Americans on government and other
taxpayers, and displace family and traditional values with socialism. This is why Democratic leaders are not stressed out by the
entitlements crisis facing us. More socialism in America is what they
want. They are not bothered that slow growth and high unemployment go hand in hand with this socialism."
More: "Republicans won't succeed as an opposition party if they keep
tiptoeing around the fact that facing America today is a crisis of
vision and values. They need to stop selling the alternative to welfare as
unpleasantness and spending cuts. They need to start selling that
restored prosperity will only come with a rebirth of American freedom
and the values that go with it."
