(Buster won't even pretend to compete with likes of the estimable Paul Krugman, below, but does have a couple comments.)
The Republican Party's "Pledge To America" is a vague-and-vaguer load of dogmatic claptrap. It pretty much boils down to:
Reduced spending. (All spending is "reckless" and "wasteful" when the D's are in the majority.)
Smaller government. (Government is always "too big" and a "bureaurocracy" when the D's are in charge. "Small government" is code for rolling back regulations, eliminating social programs, and reducing safeguards and oversight.)
Make permanent Bush's tax cuts. (Especially for the real R constituency, the ultra-rich.)
Repeal health care reform. (No real reason. Just wanna stick it to Obama!)
Said chief "Pledge" drummerboy John Boehner, "We're not going to be any different than we've been."
No shit, Orange Man.
