...other than by conning "Democrats" into doing (and OWNING) what Republicans could NEVER get away with if they were to do it themselves?

3. Conning?
It's apparent that Obama is really motivated to do this all on his own.

4. Republicans *couldn't* do it.
Enough Democratic politicians would see the political opportunity in blocking the Republican effort. But find yourself a "D" who's willing to adopt the traditional Republican frames on Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid, and the rest of the party doesn't know what to do.

6. If the President signs much of the Republicans path to prosperity
or whatever they call it, and the layoffs start and
there will be layoffs and economy starts to drag again
then Obama will get the credit.

This is their winning game.

Just remember when the Republicans pushed Clinton to sign
Nafta, all the Bank De-regulations which lead to this
present collapse. Mention any of these things and fingers
go strait to Clinton.

7. Democrats have been collaborating with GOP to overturn New Deal since '78...at least!!

Hope at some point to finally post some of the info from Wm. Greider's book -- 1992 --

"Who will tell the people?" -- I read it then and am re-reading it now --

but haven't had time to get up a little report on it --

However, he relates that in '78, Dems collaborated with the GOP on dismantling the tax code

for the benefit of the rich. That was pre-Reagan -- not that Reagan wasn't a major destroyer!!

8. ... but let's point out that the damage will have been done -- and those who did it will sail off ..
to profitable careers elsewhere if they are the public somehow manages to hold

them accountable by voting on GOP controlled/hackable computers!!
