The offer of the Chained CPI is a 'Brilliant Strategy'! Could someone explain this please?

92. I took it to mean the poster is

mocking the moderates on the left.... in fact my point was that on the right both moderate and far right teabag nuts both set the details of the debate. The moderate left just goes along willingly in agreement with their premise... i.e. that spending in D.C. has a spending problem and that taxing people is not the solution. Many even on forums like this have bought the notion when the Left should be steering the conversation by helping out the people i.e. lowing SS and Medicare age not raising it, taxing the wealthy to 70 percent not going back to the 36 percent Clinton years, lets talk Vat, lets talk bank transaction tax, lets talk trading transaction tax, lets talk about really helping the poor and the unemployed with a government work program, lets talk government controls on the cost of healthcare and medicine... so we buy into this crap about the right refusing to raise taxes on the rich as if we get anything out of a 5 percent increase and it is some kind of huge victory for the people, status quo is being sold as victory....
