GOP credibility and keeping promises

On another blog, a GOP faithful made this comment:

We have a population across all private and public sectors that is aging faster than the number of workers needed to finance the systems. Priority 8 vets were purged from the system because they do not have service related injuries and are not low income and can afford private insurance coverage. Sounds fair and reasonable to me. Do you honestly believe that VA benefits are to never be re-evaluated?

I think that really deserves a front page reply.

If the GOP has no problem breaking a promise used to recruit volunteers into the military, then Hell has become real on Earth.

Who thinks it is “fair and reasonable” to make a promise without keeping the promise? Only the GOP faithful.

Pages of debate followed that comment. Pretty much the GOP believes promises are not meant to be kept. If the choice is between paying to keep a promise, or cutting taxes (and borrowing trillions in debt), CUT THE TAXES is the only answer at the GOP.

Say good bye to public schools, social security, and public health.

Say good bye to public roads.

Say hello to toll roads run by private companies, a huge step back in time.

Say hello to private cities for the wealthy, a place while the average person won't be welcome even if they can afford it.
