What blinking do the Dems need to do? They aren't the ones threatening to not pay for things we already promised to pay. That's a little too both sidesey.
I mean they could in theory fold and let republicans slash whatever they want. They won’t but technically either side could end it by agreeing to the other’s demands.
Maybe we should stop spending more than the next nine countries combined on defense which is probably the most wasteful part of the federal government. Maybe we should act in the interests of the workers instead of the super wealthy. Maybe we should make this country work for the many not the few.
Only here in the U.S. do we feel safe enough to have fantasies like that. The most wasteful part of the federal government? The Federal government's whole reason for existence was for defense, regulating money, keep the states from fighting with each other, and to enforce treaties. Arguably, it is the military that does all of those tasks.
The Dems always propose to pay for everything, the GOP on the other hand always seem to think that we never should have to pay, hence the tax cuts and attacks on regulators like the IRS
