Senate GOP Sells Out National Security for Tax Cuts
2nd December 2010
No one other than Barack Obama and the Kremlin care about START.
But we should. We should also care that the Senate GOP, thanks to the “skillful” negotiations of Jon Kyl (R-AZ), have decided to sell us down the river to Moscow in order to temporarily avoid the Obama tax increase.
The sad part is that we could get the Bush tax cuts extended even without selling out our national security.
Actually, one could just set up a template ‘Senate GOP Sells out X for Y’ and run with it pretty much every day, substituting appropriate values for X and Y.
The problem with compromising with ‘progressives’ is as follows:
What they get: They get to do A.
What we get: They don’t get to do B, C, D, E, and F.
Thus each ‘compromise’ leaves us worse off and them farther toward their objective, until they win and we lose.
Let’s not even go there.
