The Conservatives Don't Have a Plan

Lately, the Democrats have been making the argument that the Conservatives are just being negative and they don't have a plan to solve the numerous problems we face.

That' a little bit like asking, "When was the last time you beat your wife?".

The question presumes it is necessary to have "a plan". The Progressives and most Democrats apparently believe that smart people in government can solve every kind of problem with central planning.

Conservatives believe that central planning is the problem rather than the solution. The Conservative "plan" is to quit trying to micro-manage the unmanageable. The plan is to get rid of most of the regulatory agencies and their stifling regulations. The plan is to stop trying to manage the environment, the economy and every aspect of business. The plan is to let the citizens work out these problems with a minimum of government interference. The plan is to downsize as much as possible. The plan is to have an honest currency rather than one that depreciates as much as 75% in 50 years (with 3 percent inflation). The plan is to let the magic of competition drive down the cost and improve the quality of health care for everyone. The plan is to shift most Federal activities to the states, as required by the Constitution.
