    >Deficit spending must end -blam!-ING LEL! Do they have any idea how bad the consequences of immediately cutting spending to that level would be? The economy would be devastated. You have to spend money to make money, this would hack away at the US's GDP. Getting rid of wasteful spending is reasonable though. Also, demanding smaller government is just plain -blam!-ing stupid. How in the hell can you expect a smaller government when more and more things need governing? More people, industries and technologies all require expanding government, though, not necessarily expanding it's power. Demanding a government respect people's rights to privacy and such would be much better. They so vague and don't define anything. It honestly looks like it was written by someone with the intellectual capacity of a gnat, oh wait.
