At this point, it is not that Republicans are intransigent and creating nationwide damage just to oppose President Obama, although as he noted two weeks ago, there are some in Washington who oppose anything he supports because he “had the gall to win the presidency.” No, Republicans are creating damage to the nation and its people as part of their bent to shrink the federal government and create a libertarian paradise with no central authority to give wealthy plutocrats free rein to operate without restriction or regulation. It is true that the Republican addiction to austerity is in part to make room for greater tax cuts for their corporate and wealthy sponsors, but as they openly admit; weakening the federal government’s ability to function is their primary goal. They will spend the next month convincing their supporters that crucial to shrinking government is eliminating funding for domestic programs despite the damage to the people, economic recovery, and the federal government.

raised the deficit while Obama is lowering it, one could argue that they are the real out-of-control spenders. A true fiscal conservative would be disgusted and appalled at how much taxpayer money they still want to devote to the military (despite the U.S. already leading the next 17 or so countries in military budgeting) and futile attempts to repeal expanded health care.
