Why Republicans Can’t Propose Spending Cuts

Republicans want to shrink America so that they can drown it in the bathtub. What that means is "starve the beast" by cutting off dollars so all federal cops have to be laid off -- that makes it easier for the 1% to loot America without fear of arrests.
CUT SPENDING also means cut govt services so that govt is less popular and people won't mind when the crooks drown it in the bathtub (until it is their turn to be looted because there are no more govt cops).
LOOK, the Koch Industries brothers hardly paid attention to funding campaigns until a Clinton Federal Attorney brought charges for their Corpus Christi refinery losing tons and tons of cancer causing benzine into the local environment -- they faced life in prison if convicted on all charges.
They hurried up and donated nearly $1 MILLION to the George WRECKER BUSH campaign in 2000. This was followed by incoming Attorney General Ashcroft dropping most charges and letting the brothers off. The FEDERAL COPS WERE BOUGHT OFF.
The Koch's have paid out (including the $20 MILLION they paid out for Corpus Christi pollution) over $288,000,000, over a QUARTER BILLION DOLLARS, in fines and penalties and settlements for polluting all over America.
Taking the FEDERAL COPS OFF THE BEAT is worth more than a quarter billion dollars to them. They are not the only 1% polluters who want the federal cops laid off and cut their agency spending. The EPA and OSHA are always the biggest targets of 1%ers wanting to shrink govt small enough to drown in the bathtub.
