Romney's idea was to let the private sector take care of it. The private sector has done nothing in 4 years, except take their profits, proven by their own reports and Wall Street figures.

So lets look at the facts and how realistically we are spending more than we need to on items we don't need. As in the global War Machine and Foreign Aid in support of tyrannical regimes, and as in unsustainable social programs, (and I do not mean SS or Medicare), and why not analyze just why we need a nanny state. Then adjust taxes accordingly to support the REAL justifiable and appropriate role of government?<br /><br />"We still have the broken system..."<br /><br />We sure as hell do.<br /><br />"... we only added the multi-trillon dollar debt to our problem."<br /><br />This is sure as hell true. We can thank GWB and the neo cons (and Obama to a lesser degree) for this scenario.<br /><br />"Have to make the change, before we stop paying the bills."<br /><br />Agreed. The only question is what change we are going to make. And therein lies the rub, and the nettlesome problem that the nation has refused to address.

In other words; what is important to the health and stability of the nation, fiscal responsibility and the benefits of self sufficiency, are viewed as selfish and uncaring. Therefore, as you said "ensnared in a trap of their own making." Frankly I have tired of trying to defend their indefensible neo con socon bullshit.<br /><br />So, yes, the rEpublican party of Neanderthals have woven a very tangled web.
