GOP Wants to End Liberals’ Spending
* A backlash of conservatism is building in the United States to counter the extravagance caused by the unrealistic policies of the idealistic but naive liberals of the past and present. Views such as those expressed by Mark Petracca of Irvine (Letters, June 5), clearly demonstrate the lack of logical thinking by adherents of the liberal philosophy.
Mr. Petracca needs to take a primer course in economics. The largest costs to communities in Orange County are those directly attributed to congressionally mandated welfare and immigration programs. How can Orange County community treasuries become fiscally sound when there is no control of illegal immigration and out-of-control welfare spending?
So, Mr. Petracca, what Republican candidates in Orange County are advocating is to encourage the electorate to reduce government waste by voting out of office the big liberal spenders in Sacramento and Washington.
Of course, they are asking for your vote at the local level to continue their fight for fiscal responsibility. Now, do you get it, Mr. Petracca?
