Tax cuts for rich people, give-backs to big business, throw Momma from the train, cut junior's college money, screw the rest of you.
Privatizing Medicare? They're not serious, but the genius of the Republican Party is its ability to engage in bare-knuckled politics. Offer up an insane budget that seeks every pie-in-the-sky policy imaginable, then if you achieve even half of what you initially sought, it's a win.
Democrats, on the other hand, in the self-professed spirit of chicken-hearted appeasement, are punked into helping to defund ACORN, get strong-armed into helping to defund Planned Parenthood and get shamed into helping to defund NPR. If we can't count on them to defend those noble -- but puny -- budgetary line-items, how are we to trust them with the bigger issues?
