Just in case you do not know, I am a pretty solid Republican, have been my whole life, so I would suggest you take my views on the Democratic Convention with a grain of salt. As I watched Obama speech I must say that I loved everything he had to say. I thought what he said about taxes was right, his approach with guns was right, I agree with him on the issue of gay people having the same hospital and tax benefits of heterosexual people, I liked how he talked about individual responsibility. I liked everything he said and I doubt that the Republican Convention will be as well put together as the Democratic one was.
The problem for me is I do not think it can happen. I do not believe that there is a single government program that any President, Republican or Democrat is prepared to cut no matter how poorly it is doing. I do not think that the President or their staff will go line by line through the budget and cut the pork spending because one Senator’s pork is another Senator’s essential program. I do not believe that our tax code will be reformed because everyone and I mean everyone, enjoys their own deductions and are so beholden to them that even if the new system is better they will feel like they are being cheated.
