So the GOP has the rich and the middle class as their "base", which I guess leaves the Democrats with the poor as their base. Interesting take....mostly wrong, but interesting. Yes, when almost 70% of your budget is consumed by entitlement programs, cutting the size and scope of the Federal gov't is a bit of a challenge. I have been making this point for 20 years. I fully expect the GOP to take advantage of the economically absurd baseline budgeting gimmick to throw a bone to the deficit hawks.
Something I have also said for the last 20 years is that Democrats are driving us off a fiscal cliff at 100 mph and Republicans are only doing 30.....we'll get to the edge of the cliff either way, just a lot sooner with Democrats.
