The chronic urge for bipartisanship with a bunch of AMORAL LIARS is a weakness, not a strength.
Of course, SFL Bennet’s website says we need to make tough decisions now, like cutting these social programs, so we can get the national debt under control.
Especially tragic when one-note"progressives" use these issues not to talk about policy, but to gripe about a legislator for not being "pure" enough.
Who knew that Republicans would now use the deficit to preach cutting the social safety net and gutting the Affordable Care Act? It's a shocker I tell ya.
Shocker indeed. My beef is that with ZappAhab, it's not about issues, it's about bitching about "SFL" Bennet at any opportunity, then getting mad that he isn't taken seriously.
Show me where Bennet's website says that. In 2012 and 2015, Bennet was calling for a balanced budget and reducing debt – that's true.
And this January, he made a statement decrying the plethora of short term stop-gap funding bills. But nothing, ever, about cutting social service programs, that I've seen Bennet advocate.
Part of my social services working career involved social security disability. There is room to cut there. But cuts should be coupled with a more effective state vocational rehabilitation program to actually help people with medical problems to return to gainful employment.
FWIW, I stopped taking “One Note Samba” (Z.) seriously a long time ago. He occasionally makes more sense than Moderatus, but not often.
