We've now seen three full-dress debates among the Republican politicians
who want to be the next president of the United States, and here's what
we've learned:
.
They all believe taxes are too high, even though federal taxes are lower
as a percentage of the U.S. economy than any time in the last 60 years.
They all believe onerous environmental regulations are preventing economic
recovery, though few economists would agree. They believe President
Obama's healthcare law is getting in the way of recovery, though most of
its provisions don't really take effect until 2014. And they believe,
correctly, that Social Security and Medicare are heading into fiscal
crises but in most cases, they haven't offered specific solutions.
.
In other words, on the issues Americans are most worried about reviving
the economy, creating jobs and reducing the federal deficit there's not
much of a debate inside the GOP. There's a robust argument about just how
much of the federal government to dismantle Michele Bachmann and Rick
Perry say they'd get rid of most of it, Mitt Romney only some of it but
to most voters, that's a narrow, sectarian divide. This year's Republican
Party starts roughly where Ronald Reagan was in 1980 and extends rightward
from there. It's a party with no discernible moderate wing.
.
Yes, there are disagreements within the party on foreign policy (between
hawks who want to stay in Afghanistan and budget-cutters who want to get
out) and on immigration (not so much a debate as an opportunity to beat up
Perry, who suffers under the handicap of actually having had to deal with
the problem as governor of Texas). But those aren't the issues that will
decide next year's election.
.
That's what we've learned. What haven't we learned?
.
Last week's debate in Florida lasted two full hours, but none of the nine
would-be presidents found time to mention the global economic crisis, the
swooning financial markets or the decline in the incomes of most
Americans.
.
How would President Perry fix Social Security, which he's derided as a
Ponzi scheme? He hasn't said. (Romney, to his credit, has at least
proposed some fixes, including raising the retirement age.)
.
How would Presidents Romney, Perry or Bachmann fix Medicare, whose rising
costs are the biggest threat to the federal budget over the next 25 years?
They haven't said.
