Mt. Vernon Statement – It’s About Time

Jim DeMint says:
“If our leaders cannot agree to the Mount Vernon Statement, they are part of the problem and should be replaced.”
I would tend to agree. As far as small government and limits of government intervention in our lives, the Mt. Vernon Statement would seem to fulfill every conservative’s wildest dreams. However, such agreements aren’t really new. Allegedly conservative politicians know full well what their platform dictates. It’s the threat of losing votes (primarily from senior citizens) that leads them to bad decision making time and again.
With the February 25th meeting with Obama looming, the GOP may just get a chance to prove they can by softening their resistance to Medicare cuts. It’s a $32.4 trillion dollar problem that desperately needs a Mt. Vernon solution.
