Out of curiosity, do you guys bitch and moan elsewhere in the politics forum about every other egregious waste of your taxpayer dollars, that are confiscated from you by gunpoint, through direct taxation and inflation? Or is it only when a small fraction of those dollars generate warheads on vatnik foreheads that you get your panties in a wad? Just curious.
To be fair to them, I've seen budget-bitching about other things too.
Nothing as much as about this though.
The fact that there's no remotely plausible world in which they aren't losing a statistically-significant number of votes from the people inside the welfare system who know perfectly well that this is wholly incompatible with their jobs, especially in the realistic use-case where the Republicans getting a foot in the door with it is what shows the Dems it's a viable message, starting to put on exactly such pressure in truth to highlight that these things mean the welfare programs are losing jobs.
Also the fact that it's relatively specific demands of the "user-interface" of the welfare exactly opposite what the Democrats have constantly done to make room for ever more graft, where it is not money disappearing into a hole, but actual in-your-face paperwork that you were told was going to be removed and yet was not. Promising one thing, then doing the exact opposite where the exact demographic in question sees it, is a very clear risk of immolating voter confidence.
To say nothing of party machinery issues potentially involving multiple election cycles of lag to be very certain the exactly opposite campaign promise to desired policy is pre-planned bullshit rather than an upstart derailing the gravy-train.
You know, it's funny you say these things, because the Democrat Party's entire modus operandi
for the last thirty years (more really, but that's about as far back as my memory goes) has to be make promises, fail to follow through on most of the, have the ones you do fulfill cause egregious damage, repeat.
You do not seem to understand that the Democrat Party is a party built on lying about anything and everything, as often as they possibly can, as aggressively as they possibly can.
Partly because they lie to themselves.
For all of this, the same communities
keep voting for them. They've turned parts of Detroit, Chicago, and LA into hellholes, yet the people there
keep voting for them. They've ruined urban schooling systems, yet the people there
keep voting for them.
Your entire post about reasons that can't work for Democrats, is disproven by the fact that Democrats
habitually do exactly those sorts of things, and keep on getting away with it!
This is a big part of why conservatives hate the mainstream media so much.
