This is what happens when 50% of adult Americans do not pay any income tax, and 45% of adult Americans are dependent upon an entitlement check every month. This is what happens when 80% of a political party's constituency is dependent upon government largess. This is what happens when a political party has lost so many tax paying voters, and white voters in particular, that they feel compelled to legalize a huge population of persons in this country illegally so that they too can receive government entitlement payments every month and become part of that political party's constituency. This is what happens when a political party buys it's constituency with other people's money. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
The only thing we have in writing is the Paul Ryan plan and the Bill just passed by the House. What you are speaking of is pure conjecture. Just like the Health Care debate, Obama is leading from the rear. We will end up with a big shit sandwich that nobody likes but everybody has to take a bite of. Hillary would have been so so so much more competent. She would never let event spiral out of control before stepping in.
An incredibly compliant press has allowed the President and the Democratic leadership to go on ad nauseum without any metrics.
Exactly! Which is why putting more formerly middle class into the poorhouse is their attempt to garner even more future voters. These vermin know that without all of the public entitlements, it's quite possible their voting base might disappear.
I haven't looked, but by this logic we should find that the poor have a higher voting rate than the not-poor.
Hence the Republican efforts against motor voter registration laws. (don't make it too easy) Also, in urban areas the transportation programs for voters. (Buses picking up voters in affordable / subsidized housing) - look at the voter turnout during Presidential elections.
The Republican mistake in all of this is subsidizing through tax cuts and tax loopholes about 1 % of the voting public. They are just not greedy enough.
