Quote of the Day 
December 6, 2012

'Republicans savor that potential catastrophe,
caring only that the threat won them $2 trillion in
spending cuts over a decade from Mr. Obama. Now
they want to do it again, and this time they want
something the last agreement missed: big cuts to
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other
programs that primarily benefit middle- and low-
income people. Grover Norquist, who leads the
party's anti-tax cult, even suggested that the debt
limit be raised only enough to get through a month
at a time, so that Republicans can maximize their
blackmail power. '
