Hopefully today's actions show that the Dems finally understand that protecting SS is good for them and the country and they won't cave when it really counts.

But many democrats at least have some general allegiance to the social democracy and welfare state we've created here in the US. So when the true believer tea party types in the house (and to a much lesser degree, senate, due to being elected statewide) act to hold the budget hostage, these democrats realize the tea partiers absolutely will let everything burn to the ground before they do something that violates their ethos. <br /><br />Even from a jaded political point of view, thanks to the serious gerrymandering of house districts, these true believer tea partiers have enough folks in their packed, bright red districts who would support them even after acting so callously (and probably because they acted so callously) that they don't even have the "but I want to be re-elected" motivation to be somewhat reasonable.<br /><br />So yeah, next time the tea party wing of house republicans create a high stakes staring contest, I wouldn't be so quick to put my money on the dems not caving rather significantly to prevent all out destruction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-11309805644125250162015-07-23T16:24:34.309-04:002015-07-23T16:24:34.309-04:00I don't know, you guys.

Dems can be big and bad when it comes to deleting riders from a highway funding bill that isn't super duper urgent, but next time, when these or other cuts are tied to, oh, I dunno, a CR or budget, let's see how steadfastly the dems protect social security.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-36479235687729014232015-07-23T15:43:41.182-04:002015-07-23T15:43:41.182-04:00There's reality, and realiTEA.
In reality, ...There's reality, and realiTEA. <br /><br />In reality, such cuts to Social Security cannot pass. Picture Gandalf with a staff on a narrow bridge. <br /><br />In realiTEA, conservative politicians get big support from tea party types for rabidly proposing any and everything that might cut the size of government (like the two provisions in the bill), regardless of whether it could possibly pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
