And the rest of America can go to hell. Steve M. flags down this Gallup poll story that tells the tragic tale: America's seniors are more than happy to throw everyone under 55 into the volcano if it means they keep their government health care.
Why yes, creating a class war and pitting America's current seniors against the rest of the country in order to destroy Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid for those under 55 is working out pretty damn well for Republicans if half the country is willing to say "Sure, you can take my social programs away to give tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans." But here's the real killer:
Independents, by a pretty large margin, trust the Republicans on the budget and not the Democrats. I can see why Obama maybe wants to get the subject off birtherism and talk about the budget. But the media conglomerates have a massive interest in pushing the Ryan Unicorn Plan, and push it they will. Now we're seeing the results.
Democrats have a long road ahead.
