An Open Letter to Bill Randall – Part 3
2010-05-21 - by
Bill, Here is the third question. At the debate you were asked, What would you cut to hold down government spending?
Bernie Reeves answered that he would do what all small businessmen have learned to do when money is tight: Cut salaries – which promptly cost him the votes of any government employees in the audience.
You said you were going to cut waste and get rid of all the “redundant government that we have.” A safer answer which offended no one. President Obama could, and has, said the same thing.
Bill, if you will not take a stand for unpopular cuts – like Bernie Reeves did – now, why should people trust you to vote for tough cuts in Congress?
