Maybe they are talking ideas but when you get down to it, the GOP is the party that has actually fucked the USA in the Ass. They have left the USA so heavily into debt, that the Democrats will have to raise taxes.
Republicans would argue that Democrats would raise taxes anyway. Except now they can’t use that money to fund social programs. That’s what Democrats are really angry about. That and the fact that the middle class is untaxeable now, thus making anything but small government a political impossibility.
The tax cuts will never be allowed to phase out. Democrats fought hard to protect the middle class Bush tax cuts. And even the most left wing Democrats won’t say they’ll raise taxes on even the affluent, much less the working class. Thus my wondering what they think they are going to accomplish.
