re: Would you vote for a candidate who ran on a “major cutbacks to lower deficit” platform?

quote:

---

A candidate who promised to:
Make significant cuts to military spending.
Reel in Social Secirity spending.
Stop the practice of using tax returns as a handout.
Tax reform - flat tax or some variant - that closes all loopholes.
A likely necessary across-the-board tax increase.
Gov aid only to those unable to work.
No more private industry incentives.
Etc.

I would automatically assume they are either way too naive, or they are simply placating and don't mean a damn thing they say.
