House GOP To Shift Defense Cuts To Poverty Programs

[vi5]

1. Wow. What a surprise.....

Nobody could have seen that coming. Except for every elected Democrat who voted for and approved the precious "grand bargain" that they all covet so much.

Lucy pulls out the football yet again.

And yes, I know this is likely not going to pass and is just for show. But it's just another example of Dems trying to bargain with Republicans to fulfill the beltway media insider's "bipartisanship" fetish, only to have the Republicans turn around and beat them with it and use it to campaign against them (which they will on this without a single moment of hesitation).

And it would be one thing if Democrats would use this as a campaign issue and run ads talking about how the Republicans want and will vote to cut programs for the poor and elderly to protect their wealthy constituents, but they won't while the Republicans will have no problem running ads claiming dems want to gut the military.
