In reply to the discussion: Saw Schumer on "This Whore" saying the words [View all]socialist_n_TN
(11,481 posts)40. I don't think so. Apparently from above with a transcript......
He was complaining that the Republicans were wanting to cut gubmint spending only with cuts to the entitlement programs, whereas the reasonable Democrats wanted revenue enhancements to go along with the cuts to entitlement programs. Now in those two approaches WHAT is the one commonality? I'll give you a hint. It's CUTS TO ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS. Greater or lesser cuts true, but still cuts.
How about this Chuckie and the rest of you neo-liberal type Dems. NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY! NO CUTS TO MEDICARE! NO CUTS TO ANY PROGRAMS THAT HELP THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR! Instead of cuts, how about raising taxes on the rich since they're the ones with all the fucking money!
