This is the voice of a former Eisenhower Republican who presently is witnessing the destruction of the middle class because of today's Republican politics and policies. Today, ideology trumps reality and practicality. The time has come for humans to take back the castles from the corporations. Comments are welcome, by the way.

20%???
The Romney fiscal plan calls for a reduction of 20% in expenditures for the poor. His plan also calls for reductions in the federal work force (job creation Romney style). While his plan fails to be specific, here is a suggestion of where to start. First, the salary of the President should be reduced by 20%. In addition, the expenditure for the White House including staff salaries should also be reduced by 20%. Next, reduce the salaries of all members of Congress by 20% as well as reducing Congressional staff and Congressional office expenses by 20%. After these cuts are in place, run the government for one full year and see how much has been saved.
