What is the conservative plan on economic growth?

[Lava Bucket]

Nearly all my friends are filthy liberals, and the only time I hear the conservative point of view is from the usual crazy sources (Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, ect.). I'm interested to hear what the conservative plan for economic growth for the US is moving forward. Is it really just cutting taxes? Because it seems like we've been trying supply side economics for about 30 years now and it hasn't worked out very well for the middle class.

What do the MMOC conservatives think will pull the US out of this recession and give us healthy economic growth? Can anyone point me to some less-biased conservative sources? I'm looking for a conservative version of Joseph Stiglitz I guess.

They want to continue with trickle down economics, which has not worked as intended.

They want to cut taxes, increase spending, and cut what we need as a society, and borrow the money

The conservative plan for economic growth is tax cuts aimed at the most wealthy americans, cutting education, and cutting other programs that are incredibly tiny parts of the budget. Very few actually cite what spending they actually wish to cut, those who do mostly just cite the EPA what not.

They will not touch the larger components of our budget, and they will increase the military budget by an amount larger than they cut.

The Conservative Plan in Illinois is abolish the Unions, remove the minimum wage, and apply Right-To-Work Zones....

Cut taxes, abolish the IRS, abolish the EPA, abolish OSHA, abolish DOT, increase defense spending to cold war levels, build a 2000 mile wall and make Mexico pay for it through sanctions, allow oil and gas exploration on all federal lands, sell and lease federal lands to private interests, including Chinese and Russian firms, reduce infrastructure and federal education spending to increase budget for defense, privatize social security, voucher-ize medicare.

It worked exactly as intended...

The intent, however, was only to make the rich richer. Everyone behind it knew the "rising tide lifts all ships" mantra was bullshit, that just has not ever been a concern for conservatives.

The conservative plan for economic growth is look at the horrible things liberals do.

They've had Henry Paulson wandering the country with a divining rod looking for buried treasure.

I'm trying to understand this thread, but it sounds like each person posting has a different concept of what "conservative" mean. Can you be more specific? XD

[Mayhem]

Probably something along of covering their ears and screaming "yada yada yada trickle down yada yada yada reagen the great yada yada yada" till either sane people do something or everything goes to waste.

The plan is to be more competitive and stop obsessing about the lowest common denominators of society.

Oh yea, forgot this part.

The other part of the plan is getting rid of minimum wage and worker safety regulations to make us competitive with sweat shop workers in Indonesia so EVERYONE becomes lowest common denominators and we don't have to care about them anymore.
