re: #247 The Ghost of Quesos Past

About that 2020 budget.

Right or wrong, the GOP has decided to lick the third rail of US politics…and while they’re not bright, they are deliberate.

Either they estimate that they can win anyway, or this is some kind of all-in cash grab before scarpering and leaving Dems to clean up the mess.

They know the Democratic House won’t pass it, but they will attempt to argue that they’re being fiscally responsible while believing that their base won’t care what they said they wanted to pass.

One thing to remember is that the middle class went for Republicans more than the lower class did.
