Wanted: Republicans

The United States government is an amazing thing. We were the first country ever to switch power from Republicans and Democrats back in the early 1800’s without any bloodshed and this still happens to this day. Now after several years of Democrats holding the senate a new poll has showed that the American people would rather see Republicans control the House and Senate than Democrats. This is after a very high rise in debt and the rise in our deficit over the last few years. November is a huge time that decides where this nation would like to head and it is all about the power that both the Republicans and Democrats want in our government.

                Democrats and Republicans are the complete opposite of each other. Democrats are big spenders who want more of a bigger government. Republicans on the other hand are conservatives who want to cut spending and have a smaller government. But right now with debt being high and our economy just getting on its feet again after the recession in 2008, it seems like Republicans would be the way to go. Spending cuts would start to somewhat take a bit out of our outrageously high debt. It would also get our deficit to lower numbers and thus help our economy start booming again.

                Republicans also would cut back on unemployment benefits and other benefits. This may not seem like a good idea but it will cut costs and make people go out and find a job. Democrats are huge into extending these benefits and it has cost the taxpayers more than what we have gotten from these programs. Also, like I have said in previous blog posts we need to stop spending our money in a useless fashion. This money that we save can either go towards reducing our debt or go back to the people in some way, shape, or form. It will benefit not just the lower class citizens but it will benefit everybody in the United States.

                A shift in power is nothing new in America. We can see it every two years in Congress and every four years during the Presidential Elections. Sometimes change is good for people and will help more people around the country. With cuts to our spending and our deficit we can build up the economy once again to be even better than it was before the recession. Democrats have showed they cannot get it done so it is now time for Republicans to show what they can do and prove they are best fit to run our nation.
