In the past year, America has seen its national debt skyrocket, unemployment double, and its standing in the world stagnate, at best. In response to the economic crisis, the President and the Democratic Congress took the idea, “throw more money at it,” as policy.

This Congressional Budget Office debt projection should be reason enough for voters to cray out, “No more” and for Congressmen to bring spending to a screeching halt.

What that chart represents should be the sole plank of the GOP for the 2010 and 2012 elections. It’s enough, really. Leave it to the power-mad Democrats to be the campaign gift (or disease) that keeps on giving. Having learned nothing from the GOP’s 2006 and 2008 implosion, Democrats flail in office like they are unaccountable to no one. Whether it’s cramming through a vote on a trillion-dollar stimulus bill, attempting to purchase 8 private jets less than a year after crucifying automaker execs’ use of that mode of transportation, or attempting a massive power grab in the guise of reforming healthcare, Democrats seem more out of touch than ever.

It’s time for the GOP to realize its potential as the party of small government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty, since Democrats seem incapable or not interested.
