If Republicans backed down from the riders in this legislation and this budget agreement went through as it is now, Democrats will have caved to Republicans $31 BILLION demand in cuts for programs and services for the poor and middle classes.
That $31 billion was where Republicans began in these negotiations, demanding Democrats meet them there. Where you begin in negotiations is your pipedream -- You throw in everything AND the kitchen sink, knowing that the other side isn't going to agree.
But Obama and Democrats did. Just as Obama & Democrats have on everything. Obama has conceded on every issue, taken the Democratic base's positions off the table before negotiations even begin.
All over the cable channels today, Democrats in both Houses of Congress are trying to sell, "Let's go ahead with what's been negotiated so far ($31 billion in program cuts vital to the People)".
Of course Democrats and Republicans are working together on behalf of transnational corporations and against ordinary citizens trying to get by.
This is the most bizarre Kabuki theater, and it's incredible that marshmellow-brained Democratic & Independent voters who are supporting Obama & the DLC-controlled Democratic Party don't see this, and aren't understanding what they're up to.
