1.1: Traditional Strengths
[Avoid] downplaying the party's traditional strengths. Other Information:
In developing a response to these perceptions, Republicans should not downplay their traditional strengths. Given the feeble
path of economic growth, reasonable tax rates and a rational tax code are prerequisites for future job creation at sufficient
levels. Given the unsustainable path of health-oriented entitlement spending—which threatens to crowd out every other form
of federal spending—some party must rise to responsibility. And given the vast potential economic advantage of newly discovered
energy sources—both natural gas and shale oil—Republicans should stand for their responsible exploitation.
