If you actually do care about reducing the deficit, then the economics of denying Medicare to 65-66 year olds is utterly nonsensical.
Hence, as we’ve known all along, concern over the deficit is just a smokescreen for more “Shock Doctrine” execution such that programs for average people get cut, and more tax cuts can be directed to the very wealthy.
It is nothing more than that. The greatest, most wonderful thing that could happen between now and January 1st is nothing – just plain nothing. In comparison to anything else the “cliff” (har, har) looks soooo good.
Tea leaves. Yes. It’s all so mysterious and esoteric when looters loot.
Weapons,. or not, that is the question?
Submit, or fight? Is that it?
Obama has seemed to me since 2008 to be uncomfortable as a Democrat, he seems to hate identifying himself as one, and I can only guess what he thinks about the great achievements of the party under FDR and LBJ. Probably he, well, hates those programs?
I can’t know what’s in his head or his heart. At all.
I can know what he freakin’ DOES.
And that his actions mostly suck and he does not seem to care about the viability of us or of the Dem Party, at least the not-so-Corporatist part of the party.
What’s on the table means the adult’s table. As usual we are relegated to the kiddie table, have been for years. We just aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this grown up stuff. Pass the Gerber.
