You never will see them fighting that battle. The communists, socialist, regressives and illiberals have won. They have enough people dependent on government handouts from future generations labor that it is politically impossible to address these issues.

The only way to end the madness is bankruptcy followed by a war between the generations where I hope the more agile defeat the more aged. So far the old people won the generational war, they OWN your work, you are their slaves.

In order to pay for all of Obama’s spending we would need to double income tax rates on everyone.
That is the price of Progressive policies.

expending lots of energy trying to avoid sequestration cuts.

The GOP should just walk away from trying to make any deal on sequestration and use that as a platform to say that entitlements are crowding out defense spending.
