Forward Progressives — 10 Questions Every Liberal Should Ask Every Republican

Forward Progressives — 10 Questions Every Liberal Should Ask Every Republican:

1) If Republicans are so fiscally responsible, why was President Eisenhower (in the 1950′s) the last Republican president to balance the budget?

Answer: False premise; the last Republican to balance the budget was Newt Gingrich. Presidents don’t write budgets, cannot authorize spending, and cannot authorize taxes. Congress does that.

2) If President Reagan was such a fiscally conservative hero, why did he quadruple our national debt during his eight years in the White House?

Answer: False premise; Tip O’Neill quadrupled the national debt. Presidents don’t write budgets, cannot authorize spending, and cannot authorize taxes. Congress does that.

3) If tax breaks are the main driving force behind job creation, how would we create jobs once tax rates were reduced to practically zero?

Answer: Tax breaks are not the main force behind job creation; demand for labor is the main force behind job creation.
