Reagan adviser tells Republicans You can?t get the job done

David Stockman, a former adviser to President Reagan interview with National Public Radio. said that Republicans "can't get the job done" with their repeat of the 1994 "Contract with America."

"They are exempting two-thirds of the budget and focusing only on non-defense discretionary spending, which actually is only about 500 billion or 15 percent of the budget, it's pretty obvious you can't get the job done, we couldn't afford the Bush tax cuts when they were put in in 2001, 2003. Now, we're - eight years later, we're trillions in additional debt later, we're two unfinanced wars later, we're a trillion dollars of stimulus spending later, 800 billion of TARP, so it's pretty obvious if we couldn't afford them back then, in no way, shape or form can we even dream about affording them now."

Wonder if the "Young Guns" will even listen to their God's adviser?
