Why would anyone want to shoot themselves in the foot? Just knowing who put the GOP budget together tells you enough that the budget will not have anything to do with things the Dems want. Resume unemployment insurance, SNAP, you name it. If only the unemployed would vote. That would make a lot of difference. I can imagine that some of those unemployed people in Alabama and Mississippi are Republicans and that when the next election comes around, they will vote Republican without any thought of why they are still unemployed.

My mother is this way. She loves her Medicare and Social Security but is a die hard Faux News fan and will vote Republican without even looking at who is running. It just doesn't matter to her and those in the states that vote right wing.
