Who Said This?

We need a President like this who can cut! Who said this:
“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own,’”
I have no objection to a safety net, but that is not this person's proposal. What this implies is an impossibility. The government can not provide for you, for you are the government. A government that tells you that you can rely on it is a government that lies. This is our current government.
Our deficit is 1.4 trillion a year. We need to cut our Government spending by 40%. When Bachman mentioned this unpleasant fact in one of the debates, the crowd gasped. This was a Republican crowd that should have known better.
I favor the expiration of the Bush Tax Cuts for the Fat Cats. In fact we need to let them expire for everyone. The expiration of these cuts is already factored in the the Congressional Budget Office deficit estimates. Even with a 4 trillion dollar tax increase over 10 years, we still need to cut 10 trillion from our spending. No one but Ron Paul is talking about this. Paul proposes keeping the Bush Tax Cuts and cutting spending even more, I do not feel this is practicable.
Folks, if you rely on the government you are relying on a false god who will fail you in the end.

It is impossible to insure against everything and remove all risk from life. Government is trying to do more than is possible. Old age , disease and death is the inevitability of life. The ultimate life source and insurance?... a relationship with your Creator!
