5. A little OT, but
If a republican administration had tried this stuff, the whole of the Democratic party would have risen up to attack them. It took Nixon to go to China. It took Obama to sell the schools.


I have been noticing this phenomenon more and more.

A Republican idea gets implemented by a Democratic President. it works out well because the Republicans want it and the Democrats stick up for "their" guy.

A tax increase gets implemented by a Republican President (tho' we probably won't see that anymore). It works out well because the Democrats, while not lovers of taxes, accept the need and Republicans stick up for "their" guy.

Do they deliberately trade off or has it just been working out that way?
