The question was how do the Republicans spin putting thousands of government employees out of work and increasing the unemployment numbers? All we hear is how Romney will create jobs, but reducing the size of government will destroy jobs

That would mean that the 99% would be able to keep more of their own money and do crazy things like start new businesses and invest in other companies that are succeeding. Imagine being able to pay off debts and not need to be as dependent on credit.
Or we could go the other way, everyone works for the Gubment and everyone in the 99% gets what the Gubment decides they should have. North Korea and Cuba are examples of how that model works.

It's just the main difference between liberal and conservative economics. Conservatives believe that tax revenue increases more as businesses become more successful while liberals believe that tax revenues are increased more by simply raising taxes on the successful. If you believe that raising taxes on the more successful will not limit their future success, then you will never understand conservatives and we will never understand you.archer wrote:

A statement that unrealistic is hardly an answer.
.....read my previous post.....trickle down economics has never worked......although the right does love to pretend that it will ......someday......maybe......they hope.
So I ask again....how will the Republicans sell the American people on the idea of reducing the size of government, throwing thousands out of work, and increasing unemployment?
