Part 2 --- Core Problem

Now, when you are introduced to new information it's reasonable that change in stance on issues may take place. Recently, the stance of many Republicans on many issues have been confusing. It's time for Republicans to provide answer --- What do the Republican Party really stand for? What's is the Republican Party's vision for America? What do Republican Party really believe?

Indeed, there's a Core Problem.


Consider some Republicans legislators and conservative pundits assailing the president for perceived failure to embrace the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles Commission and making the Congress vote on recommendations. The president may have been reluctant to embrace recommendations (many people are/were reluctant). However, he nor any other president cannot force the U.S. Congress do anything. Hence, the formation of the Simpson-Bowles commission by executive order. The executive order that sought to achieve the same objectives of the Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action Act of 2009 . It may be reasonably argued The Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action Act of 2009 was defeated because 7 Republican sponsors of the legislation voted against it. It's raises the question of a Core Problem.

"PAYGO first appeared in the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (BEA), negotiated between Republican President George H. W. Bush and the Democratic leaders of Congress...PAYGO was extended in the 1993 deficit reduction legislation and again in the 1997 Balanced Budget Act [during President William Clinton Administration]-- when it was extended through 2002." The results was balanced budgets and surplus.

Republicans oft talked about 'running up the nation's deficit' and placing onerous debt upon future generations.  Yet, the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 was allowed to expire thereby allowing irresponsible spending with the cessation of Pay-As-You-Go provision. Democrats must assume responsibility as well for their irresponsibility in this regard.

There's a Core Problem.

Do deficits really matter? Indeed, it's a Core Problem.
