Thread Name: BS: Disaster for the Democrats?
Subject: RE: BS: Disaster for the Democrats?
The reason they absolutely will NOT tell the public any specifics about what they really intend to do to "cut spending" is...there'd be a revolution if they revealed what they actually intend to do.
They do not intend to cut spending. Hardly. Neither party has any intention of truly cutting spending. They intend to pretend that somehow that they are cutting spending (like they pretended to pull out of Iraq recently) while continuing to bankroll the biggest and most wasteful military budget in the world, while continuing to chip away at social services and civil rights, while continuing to create new debts and new fiat money (invented with the mere stroke of a computer key).
They will not cut spending. They will continue to bleed the middle class and abandon the poor, export jobs to Asia and Mexico, and provide windfalls to the richest 1 % of the population.
All talk of cutting spending is merely propaganda intended to sway the minds of the ordinary public via the mass media. It's a lie, no matter whether the Republicans promise to do it or the Democrats promise to do it. They tell these lies with utter aplomb, because they know that their well-controlled mass media will manipulate the American public into a completely false impression of what is going on, and the game will continue as it has in the past.
