This Rep Becerra is walking a tricky line.
This debt ceiling thing is gonna be big, in many ways.
And frankly, I don’t see cutting Soc. Sec. as an answer but I’m not going to argue the rights and wrongs of this, but I will state why I think this is so.
The American people know that there is a lot of wasteful spending by the gubmint. Bureaucracies are bloated, hey, get rid of the damn Post office or reduce it to a letter carrier, let the privates deliver the packages, cut out the EPA.....and the American public knows that these shovel ready projects were a big waste of money.
the American people, including Becerra’s constituents, are looking for reductions in this sort of thing FIRST. It’s kind of like immigration...we don’t mind giving amnesty to the folks who already live here but we did that once before and here we are again. Shore up those borders and enforce those immigration laws FIRST then we’ll talk amnesty.
This puts the politicos in a bad position, INCLUDING THE RINOS who knew this was happening right along. They sure don’t want to reduce their pet pork projects and they’ve got a lot of hispanic voters back home.
The American public, to sum it up, wants the politicians to STOP LOOKING OUT FOR THE POLITICIANS!
This does not include taking SS money from Grandma.
You telling me MCCain and his ilk did not know about that stupid thing going on with the banks and mortgages given to those without means to pay it? No wait! McCain was all busy passing that campaign finance reform thing dear Lord I sleep better every night knowing that law’s in place, don’t you?
No amnesty ever.
