re: #173 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Yeah, that’s why I think the Ryan Plan is going to be what gives the Dems back the House. They might have been able to see changes to Medicare and Medicaid, in absence of the tax cuts, as necessary to get spending under control. But tacking on tax cuts for the top 2%, under the ol’ chestnut of “It’ll stimulate economic growth and job creation!,” is gonna be political poison. No amount of scaremongering is going to erase that.

Scaremongering has already convinced a significant minority of the country of things that are baldly, obviously false. I’m not sure why you think that scaremongering won’t continue to convince people that upwards wealth transfer, from the middle class to the super rich, is good and right. They’ve been convinced of that for nearly thirty years now.
