responsibility...
One has to wonder why this canard has been allowed to be perpetuated by the media as self anointed Fiscally Conservative Democrats continue to congratulate themselves as being "responsible" in all things budgetary.
But when you really look at what it is these so-called fiscally conservatives actually support, when the gilded veil of 'responsibility" is taken away, all that remains are unfunded tax cuts for the rich which only increase budgetary deficits so far into the future so to rendered the term fiscally conservative meaningless.
And yet they howl so loud and long when a social program is introduced that the supporters of such measures are put on the defense right from the get go. These sneered at, by media and colleagues alike, "do-gooders" are forced to find funding in a budget that is all ready in dutch by half.
"You must fund these discretionary programs" is the cry from the right which is then repeated ad nauseum by the echo chamber known as the Washington Press Corp. Perhaps it is because these stenographers passing themselves off as "Journalists" are, or strive to be, in the tax brackets that will be cut. Perhaps that is why the media tilts more to the right with each passing tax cut proposal.
These folks in the center and the right should be called what they truly are, errand boys for the super wealthy. And how cheaply they are bought, willing to sell out vast swaths of the country and staggering amounts of their fellow citizens for the modern equivalent of 30 pieces of silver.
