John Kerry Secretary Of State: Top Dems Nervous About Political Ripple Effects

What is the subject of this conversation?

It is not the deficit, the budget, the national debt, the fiscal cliff, or entitlements.

The subject is Conservatism and nothing else. That is because it is Conservatives in Washington who are causing all of America's problems (with the possible exception of soil erosion).

The Conservative Strategy that has been followed over the years is called "Starving the Beast" in Conservative literature. Here is how it works:

1. Cut taxes but do not cut spending.

2. Create a large national debt.

3. This will create a series of fiscal crises, during which Conservatives will …

4. Cut federal programs, starting with the ones that do not benefit the wealthy class. The will work their way up to repealing social security and medicare

5. Keep cutting until there is nothing left, presumably, but just enough of an army to

put down riots and demonstrations.

Our government is FAILING because Conservatism is SUCCEEDING. Until we solve our Conservatism problem, we will not be able to solve any of our other, lower priority problems, like debt, global warming, etc.

(Note: By "Conservatives" I only refer to Republicans in elected office, not to the dupes who vote for them.)

It's not just a man-made disaster - it's a GOP made disaster. They are willing to drive the economy into ruin if they can't keep their precious tax-breaks for the rich.
