The Republicans have no new ideas

And they made that stunningly obvious in the roll out of their ballyhooed "Pledge to America".
The plan steers clear of specifics on important issues, such as how it will "put government on a path to a balanced budget." It omits altogether the question of how to address looming shortfalls in Social Security and Medicare, which account for a huge portion of the nation's soaring deficit, instead including a vague promise: "We will make the decisions that are necessary to protect our entitlement programs."
With an arrogance that displays how far out of touch the GOP is with reality, they ignored the highly unpopular social issues that many of their candidates are running on and concentrated on their deflationary financial ideas that appear designed to stop the recovery cold in its tracks.

Their whole concept seems to be "Remember how bad it was the last time we were in control? We didn't think so."

UPDATE: Even noted Republican douchebag and balllicker Erick Erickson doesn't like it, "It is dreck".
