Good point. If America hands the House, Senate and Presidency to the Republicans, there'll be no more excuses. If they don't make any progress in dismantling the welfare state then, they will be exposed utterly as the Democrat-Lite party and I'll be looking for a new party.

I knew someone would catch that. I am glad it was you.... Although I am fairly confident of the election, the majorities in both houses of Congress are close, and without the presence of Gypsy Moth Republicans, who are moderates and unreliable members of the caucus, we would have no majority. Unless we broaden our majority, and get a large number of conservatives in there, the Democrats have a good chance of introducing successful legislation. In any event, by putting the issue in play for the election, we have prevented a rush to commit funds, and by putting it in play as part of mandate, we have made it less likely that the Democrats can marshal an effective majority for large spending proposals in the next administration. If it is objected that a Republican president could veto such legislation, well, with a razor thin majority and a large bloc of defectors, he could also be leveraged by stopping his initiatives. Thus, it actually makes sense to worry that the Democrats will spend it, with the help of Republicans in sheep's clothing....... But the main point, I admit, was rhetorical: The Democrats don't care about debt reduction, but about spending initiatives, and so their complaints are BS........
