Reply #16: Democrats must attach riders to eliminate programs that democrats have [View All]

[bluestate10]

been fighting to eliminate for decades, like farm subsidies for all crops, even crops that are not needed in the volumes produced, or the oil depletion allowance, or removal of federal tax monies that are used to lure businesses to states, or a rider that legislate that no SS recipient can get more than 110% of that was paid in annually. All of the provisions will hammer states that send republicans to Congress in large numbers, while having minimal to no impact on states that send democrats to Congress. Put the shoe on the other foot, instead of being pressed to defend spending that produces social benefits, democrats must force republicans to go on record defending spending that has no social benefit, and in fact, which has a negative social benefit.
