Senator Chuck Shumer (D. NY) was caught unaware on a telephone conference when he didn't realize reporters were on the call as well. Schumer revealed his marching orders from the Democratic caucus to cause the Tea Party "extreme" and the idea of budget cuts proposed and passed by the House "radical". Rather than pass an answer to the House budget, the idea is to put pressure on House Republicans to compromise against a proposal that doesn't exist.
Meanwhile Howard Dean, former Democratic presidential candidate and former Democratic committe chairman revealed he would be secretly hoping for a government shutdown because Republicans would be blamed.
So what does this show us? Howard Dean, of the supposedly caring Democrats, wants the government to shut down because when people stop receiving their checks, it will score points for Democrats. If there is any less subtle way of showing that Democrats are in it to buy votes with tax dollars, I don't know what it might be. Disgusting.
