Government on a whole doesn't contribute any sort of real products or services to the economy and serves more as a drain. I'm not saying that government isn't necessary but limiting the size of government would be a good thing.

Well in your opinion that GOP solutions were garbage. My opinion is that they were very good and valid solutions. When government has a spending problem spending needs to be cut. Don't get me wrong I'm not exactly in favor of increasing taxes but closing of some loopholes and expanding the taxpayer based would have been useful but that doesn't mean that the bills were "garbage".
I don't see why it's so terrible to force the government to balance it's budget. Individuals in their own households have to so why not government? I could see putting in some limited exceptions for borrowing funds but this should be the exception and not the rule.

I disagree with corporate bailouts and didn't think it was a good idea. That being said how are corporate bailouts are supply-side economics. Anyway don't forget that a significant portion of Obamas big spending also were directed to states and were supposed to go shovel ready (infrastructure) projects. Projects that were not as shovel ready has he first thought and saw fit to
crack a joke about it.
