Entitlement reform and spending cuts on social programs are
the absolute “third rail” of politics. Reality and math don’t matter
to those getting $$$$ from ANY .gov source. If you even hint
that you believe spending on these programs must diminish in
any way and you have committed political suicide. Greed doesn’t even
understand that math is real let alone that it dooms us all by it’s
inexorable truths.
No Republican candidate who promises cutting people’s benefits is going to get elected. Its not rocket science.
If given a choice between the guy who offers you ice cream and the guy who offers who you broccoli, the outcome every time is no surprise.
The ice cream guy wins and this year he was Obama.
