    Exactly right. Bush took the savings from Clinton’s deficit reduction package, which mostly hit the poor and middle class — which would have paid for universal health coverage — and spent it and more on tax cuts for the the top end of the income scale.https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/936841653280632834 …

    Republicans are playing an effective long game. They've touted deficit fears to get two consecutive Democratic presidents to cut spending, and each time used the savings on tax cuts when they return to power.

        Ask @Thom_Hartmann about the "Two Santas" strategy. He knows of what you speak (or tweet).

        Paul Ryan has been pretty clear about his desire to cut Medicare and Medicaid. This is pretty much straight out of the Grover Norquist playbook--use taxes to drive up the deficit then later demand spending cuts to correct. Rinse. Repeat.

        It’s like that scene in Cool Hand Luke, Republicans digging a hole, Democrats filling it in, and then Republicans just dig it again

        Part & parcel of a country's life. #ModiSarkar building atop Manmohan Singh's economic engines. Sad part they discredit the predecessors

        @sahilkapur Actually, it describes how Corporate Democrats have used the deficit as an excuse to not enact progressive policies. To a large extent, the Dems & GOP have the same corporate donors to make happy.
