My take is that the dems are trying to pass themselves off as the Official Party Of Fiscal Responsibility. One of the new masks being custom fitted for the 2016 election. While the GOP folk are boozing it up and shrugging off the voters who ‘brung ‘em to the dance’, the DNC gnomes are hard at work, calculating.
I sense though that these masks are going to get pulled off during the course of the next few years. You watch.
