In today's Washington Post, further evidence of the pro-business class policies of the current GOP are evident. Realizing after five years that deficits do matter, the House decides they have to start cutting. Their first target? Yep, you guessed it: the poor. Food stamps, Medicare, school lunch programs are all being targeted. Why end corporate welfare? Marshall Whittman aka the Moose:
The prime reason that the Moose is not an elephant is that the GOP is theologically devoted to comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted. The blessed sacrament of the high church of the Republican Party is the permanent elimination of the estate tax. (www.bullmooseblog.com)
For some months now, yours truly has done some political soul searching. Should I shy away from progressive thinking? Embrace libertarianism? Say no to government?
Well, it doesn't take a liberal or a libertarian to see the reality of today's GOP. After all is said and done, this country's soul may never recover.
