On top of it, Democrats should force Obama to resign for even considering putting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security on the table:
Here is the class logic that underlies the increasingly open assault on social programs for working people. From the standpoint of the capitalist class, all social benefits are deductions from their profits, a redistribution to the working people of trillions that would otherwise flow into the coffers of the bankers and billionaires. Under conditions of deepening financial crisis on a global scale, the ruling elite is driven to claw back everything it can by destroying benefits won by working people in struggle over many decades.
To fight against this policy of social counterrevolution, the working class requires above all an understanding of the class character of the Obama administration and the Democratic Party. Obama is not a too timid “progressive,” as his liberal apologists from the New York Times to the Nation magazine would have it. He is the most trusted instrument of the financial aristocracy, wholly devoted to defending the interests of Wall Street.
Treasonous bastards like the Kochs should be arrested, jailed, and their assets confiscated so that they never are allowed to pollute public discourse again with their fascistic rhetoric.
This is a totally fraudulent crisis being exploited for craven political reasons, but these politicians in both political parties cannot be allowed to pull this shit.
