Let's get real
In all of these economic discussions, everyone dances around what's really going on off stage. Like Dick Cheney in drag, there's this evil creature lurking behind all of this supposedly reasonable debate about budgets, jobs, the economy etc. The dark side of human nature, represented by heartless Republicans, won't be happy until they force poor people into becoming what the Repugs believe there are - worthless.
Following Grover Norquist's injunction to downsize government until it can be drowned in a bathtub, the "greed is good" crowd howls in protest every time working class Americans catch a break. Unemployment compensation? Forget it. Health care? Get real. School lunch program? Hunger makes kids tougher.
They truly don't believe in anything with the word "public" in it. If they could privatize the air we breathe, they would. The underside of human nature has no concience. There is really no point in reasoning with them because their hearts are stone and and they won't be happy until they make the rest of us live down to their expectations.
The best we can hope for is that they all move to Texas and secede.
