Conservative group unveils plan to slash spending by $12 trillion

[Olde Hornet]

Now that they are growing the deficit like crazy, they want us to believe they are fiscal conservatives.

The 169-page RSC budget, dubbed “A Framework For Unified Conservatism,” comes as Republicans have faced growing criticism for exploding the federal deficit with the GOP tax-cut law and a massive government funding package earlier this year.

“We need to earn back the title as the adults in the room, the fiscal people who are responsible — not just for where we are today, but for decades to come,” RSC Chairman Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) said during a pen-and-pad session with reporters.

The RSC offers its own budget blueprint every year to give fiscal hawks a more conservative alternative to whatever budget resolution the House Budget Committee puts forward. While the RSC’s austere budget plan stands little chance of being adopted by the full House, it typically at least gets a House floor vote to appease conservative members of the GOP conference.

If the cuts aren’t gonna go anywhere near the Pentagon, then they won’t even BEGIN to discuss waste and redundancy.
