I agree. How many battles did we win during the Revolutionary war? I think every one was a loss or draw except the last, and Britain lost.
The Dem tactic is get what you can until next time take some more then some more than a little at a time so nobody notices. We want it all at once.
Bury your dead, reload, move on, confront, attrit. Think decades. This war will last more than 1 year. Think long. We get to vote again soon....
Ticonderoga. Trenton. King’s Mountain.
There are many more—but my American history is 25 years old. One needs to maintain a pace if one is to gain full victory. These cuts are laughable. If they can manage $750 billion more next year and pick up the pace from there we may salvage things, but the additional interest on the additional 1.4 trillion in debt, if rates go to 5.4%, would equal the $750 billion—and we still have interest to pay on the other $14 trillion—if rates jump 3%, that is another $420 billion a year. $39 billion is chump change. If inflation takes off before things are brought under control, we are toast.
