My fellow Republicans, some of you, like me, call yourselves fiscal conservatives.  We need to apologize.  We have increased discretionary domestic spending beyond reasonable levels.  We have driven up budget deficits and killed the value of our currency.  We have not driven down the cost of health care, we have not solved (privatized) Social Security, and we have not done enough to change to nuclear energy and fix the energy problems this country faces.  We aren't the party of water downed Democrats.  We are not the Socialist-lite party.

We need to reassess what we aim to do.  We're not Republicans because we have an affinity for the elephant and an animosity toward jackasses (although, personally I can't stand asses).

We need to take care of the environment and focus on allowing people to work hard to improve their lives.  This means scrapping virtually all entitlement programs but focusing on education, and job training.  We need to build infrastructure between businesses and community colleges... We need to improve the urban education sector in general.  You want to increase GDP?  Make the urban poor the urban rich.  More money in their pocket is more money in all of our pockets.

We must erase the culture of the mentality of entitlements for there is no substitute for hard work.  The answer to improving the economy, in the 21st century, in the long run is not higher taxes and more government spending.  If modern history has taught us anything it is that what I just said is true. 

The answer to globalization is not to cower in fear, hiding under tariffs, quotas and anti-free trade and immigrant policies.  The answer to globalization is to embrace it with trade, expanding horizons, getting industries to be more competitive.  Ironically enough Karl Marx had the right idea.  Marx was right in that he knew the slogan of the ideal economy: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need!
But Marx was wrong on how to implement this solution.  It's not a communist run state economy, but the free market, with limited regulation, that will result in this paradise of utopian allocation.

Who can we turn to in this time of crisis?  Who will lead us on the path to economic freedom and political virtue?  John McCain.
