They need to slash spending because he really really doesn’t want to raise the debt limit and wants to renew his cuts (why the limit is a big deal this time as opposed to the last where it was a fake big deal is beyond me)
I think even the dumbest republican voter will find "cutting public programs with no new tax cuts and a larger deficit" not exactly the most thrilling agenda he's ever heard
I think if you don’t read centrist or left leaning news, the elimination of public programs will be a “boil the frog” if they don’t touch social security, medicare, or medicaid. Like someone offline won’t realize the cfpb is gone
Without raising taxes or cutting defense (untenable to do either for rs) I think the only way they balance the budget is slashing social security, Medicare, or Medicaid
Someone described rn as Jan/Feb 2020. Since direct payments (like the above) haven’t been impacted most Americans are clueless to what’s going on. There will be a mass collective stove touching moment this year or next though
