There are two ways to fund the government 1) have an honest debate and cast difficult tax and spending votes that aren’t easily explained in 15 second sound bites OR NUMBER 2 smoke and mirrors devaluation of the dollar which is a stealt tax increase on the producers and not indexed to tax law. AND THE SHEEPLE don’t ever see it coming!!!!
Thus the need to educate the public by hitting them with topical points that will get their interest. I'll betcha less than five in ten people on the street have any idea what is going on with the budget - or, the economy for that matter. They know stuff costs more and gas has gone up. But, if asked they will simply say it's all because of republicans.
That's because the media does a good job of selling dem talking points and the republicans don't fight back.
