, Bacon went on to say such a position is “a nonstarter” because Republicans have been given a “mission” by voters to cut spending.
The problem is, Bacon’s description is spectacularly wrong for reasons he really ought to understand. Not to put too fine a point on this, but good-faith talks among officials are literally impossible when one side is holding a gun to the head of the economy during the process. I don’t imagine Bacon will see what I’ve written here, but I would ask him to consider a hypothetical scenario from the recent past. It’s early 2019, and a new Democratic majority in the House is getting to work alongside a Republican-led Senate and a Republican White House. House Democratic leaders know that Congress will soon have to raise the debt ceiling, which gets them thinking about their priorities — and their demands.
That same relatively moderate House Democrat adds soon after, “Donald Trump has to also negotiate. He can’t say he refuses to negotiate. That’s a nonstarter, because the mission we’ve been given is to help Americans with their health security. When parties say, ‘My way or the highway,’ it just does not work.”
MaddowBlog As long as our really smart leaders are using a credit card to give away millions of taxpayer dollars to secure the border of other countries while ignoring our own open border they deserve to get shutdown. Wasteful cowards.
MaddowBlog Should be true for whoever is in power, right? This is the reason why the US rebelled against the British empire. The power supposedly belong to the people and these politicians are not there to govern. They are there supposedly to do the people’s bidding.
MaddowBlog Not to mention abuse of tx dollars to promote an anti-Amer anti-democratic agenda w/frivolous investigations. Who holds the Oversight Committee acctable? Is this an obscure & forgotten job of the DOJ bc it hasn't been necessary? The Amer ppl, who vote every 2yrs, are unprotected.
MaddowBlog Your lack of journalistic integrity is on display, .
MaddowBlog MSNBC y’all love putting out misinformation the leader of fake news
MaddowBlog They've already been harmed pretty good every time they see the total for their grocery bill and for a full tank of gas thanks to Biden.
MaddowBlog Democrats are blaming Republicans for the financial crisis they created with mandatory lock downs, billions, if not trillions, in “foreign aid” to non allies, social security 32 trillion in the red etc. I could type until I get carpal tunnel. The delusions are hysterical
MaddowBlog Biden hasn’t taken ONE question in over a week. COWARD
MaddowBlog But they won't do it
MaddowBlog The families of the almost 3,000 people shot in Chicago alone last year would probably have a different take on it.But good enough for the sheep.Just something shiny for the fools to chase is all they need as we’ve seen…
MaddowBlog But they don't know how to govern!!! They’ve proven that time and time again. Name one thing they’ve done other than criticize the Democrats. In fact, most of the leaders running that clown show would be in prison if they were in any other country other than America!!!
MaddowBlog 😠
MaddowBlog Democrat leaders are feeling the pressure of there power shifting away towards the 'RIGHT' ... As a result in typical democrat fashison they will say and do anything to hang onto there divisive way of governing.
MaddowBlog 🤡🙄🤡
MaddowBlog Standards are intuitivly, low. Even in terms of corporate content creators. Education is 'high'.
MaddowBlog This is why mocking people who continue to vote for repugs should be shamed. At some point you can't tolerate blatant ignorance.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Did you write that with a straight face?
MaddowBlog 😂🤦♂️ refusingtoseewhat’srightinfront of us!
MaddowBlog They're into entertainment not governing.. They might have to consult with the newest Drag Queen on the Republican side. Santos in 👠.
MaddowBlog msnbc no one and I mean no one wants to see TV ads for bent or limp dick syndrome! Everytime one comes on I go see whats up on CNN .
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Biden’s got that. No worries.
MaddowBlog There is no defense. You are so wrong and it's sickening.
MaddowBlog Good article and that is exacty right. The President should no negotiate with terrorists.
MaddowBlog They are incapable of governing!
MaddowBlog Well those libs aren’t going to own themselves after all. 🤷♂️
MaddowBlog The medical profession's credo: First, do no harm. GOP credo: Do what I say or the World economy gets it. It's insurrection but for US and World's fiscal health. Dangerous, radicalized GOP must be stopped.
MaddowBlog How can you ask generations of young people to pay for past excesses? It's immoral. If I laid 31 trillion dollar bills end to end-- It would go to saturn and back to earth! Twice!
MaddowBlog Make no mistake that this is a teachable moment. If democrats cave, the only thing Republicans will learn is that they can and will do it again. What will it be next time? The ACA? Social Security? Medicare? Whatever else they don't want?
MaddowBlog What we are witnessing is the dismantling of the administrative state. The gop is using Putin’s and Bannon’s plan to take down the government.
MaddowBlog 'moderate' lmao!!
MaddowBlog Cracks cracking the cracked crackers..
MaddowBlog They're all economic terrorists until proven otherwise No hyperbole, thousands die all the time thanks to their unnecessarily inflicted austerity. Both parties
MaddowBlog Yes, but … when does all this crazy excess spending stop? You cannot keep spending more than you are taking in forever! We are leaving a legacy of a huge federaldeficit to our kids. They should be begging us to stop using the credit card.
MaddowBlog What's good for America is bad for the Anti-American Republican Party.
MaddowBlog You must be thinking of Sleepy Joe’s administration going after parents of school children.
MaddowBlog Not a joke
MaddowBlog Thank you for putting moderate in quotation- he is anything but moderate. He’s just not crazy- which actually makes him more dangerous.
Barking52731887 MaddowBlog Dear RepScottPerry, Santos4Congress is the GOP's poster child, and it certainly reflects on you. Threatening the stability of the economy & jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the US while trying to raise SS age and cut Medicare... you are no moderate; you are complicit!
MaddowBlog Not possible.
