re: #150 stabby

Another comment that won’t get a response on PJ:

You’ll notice that the Republicans want to shut down the government without proposing any specific spending cuts because:

1) they know that the spending cuts they really want, the public really DOESN’T want. Therefore they’re trying to blackmail the whole county just to force the Democrats to suggest those cuts so the Democrats can take the blame.

2) any spending cuts that the public might support, Obama would likely agree to, and the actual goal is not to cut spending but to hurt the Democratic party. The last thing you want is an agreement now.

Around 16 billion in social welfare spending
Around 100 billion in corporate welfare spending

Guess which the GOP thinks is untouchable.
