Republicans mine votes by misleading the “poorly educated” that they are really looking out for their interests.

This is why they have so far refused to specify what spending they want to cut. This is the oldest negotiating tactic in the book. They want the Democrats to propose toxic spending cuts that Republicans can exploit politically. Democrats should insist the Republicans specify exactly what spending they want to cut. This would also lessen the opportunity for Republicans to “keep moving the goalposts.

Democrats could argue that because much of the current deficit is due to Trump tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, any spending cuts should be matched or exceeded by the reversal of the those tax cuts. This is only fair. I would also recommend negotiations be conducted publicly to prevent Republicans from trying to spin what was said.

If the Republicans will not specify what cuts they want, or agree to match any cuts with reversal of the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, then let the game of chicken begin.
