Class Warfare

I have to agree with Matt that the Republicans' priorities are kind of disgusting. It's apparently incredibly difficult to find anything to cut out of the lean, mean budget that the Republicans have been putting together.

Gosh, I seem to remember pork-laden energy and transportation bills being passed by Congress this year. Similarly, I could have sworn Congress passed a massively expanded farm bill back in 2002 that disproportionately benefited large agribusinesses, with many GOP legislators voting down an amendment that would have capped payouts to the largest farmers. in fact, I remember reading somewhere that the last couple of Congresses have been the most profligate in a generation, expanding government more than any since Lyndon Johnson was at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Yet somehow, in a $2.5 trillion dollar budget, the only places that could be found to cut spending are in two programs that feed and provide medical care to poor people. (along with some reductions in student aid that primarily benefit upper-middle class people) Now, I'm not a big fan of either program. In fact, I don't think the federal government should be involved in anti-poverty efforts at all. But as federal programs go, food stamps are certainly better than most. They do, in fact, provide food to a lot of poor people, and they do it with relatively little harmful effects on the market. (the analogous proposal for education--school vouchers--is considered by some to be a radical right-wing idea) Likewise, although Medicaid has its flaws, it does actually provide a lot of medical care for poor people.

Democrats talk incessently about how Republicans are fixated on "tax cuts for the wealthy" and attacking the services provided to poor people. Until recently, I always regarded this as demogoguery. Fiscal conservatives want to cut rich peoples' taxes because they want to cut everyone's taxes, I figured. And they want to cut the poor's social programs because they want to cut government across the board, leaving everyone--poor people included--with more money in their pockets to spend on the things they need most.

But the last five years have made that line increasingly absurd. When's the last time a Republican proposed cutting payroll taxes? Where are the Republicans fighting to cut regressive excise taxes? Conversely, when it comes to cuttiing spending, why are the only programs that come under the knife programs that go to poor people? Why not make at least a token effort to rein in the billions of dollars that get doled out to well-connected interest groups.

Those are rhetorical questions, obviously. Republicans cut the rich's taxes and the poor's spending because the rich hire more lobbyists and make more campaign contributions. But until recently, the Republicans at least did a convincing job of pretending they had loftier goals than scratching the backs of their supporters.

I think libertarians, especially, have to be careful not to become party to a cynical wealth transfer from poor to wealthy. I don't think small cuts in Medicaid and food stamps, coupled with large increases in corporate welfare, is a step in the right direction. Likewise, I don't think tax cuts are particularly praiseworthy if they're just being piled on the deficit. Considered in isolation, such cuts might be worth supporting, but in practice they're not in isolation. The Medicaid and food stamp cuts are calculated to help them look fiscally conservative, and to make more room in the budget for more coporate welfare.

Until the GOP makes at least a half-hearted attempt to control spending across the board, we ought to give them no credit whatsoever for making token cuts to social programs. Welfare isn't only bad when it goes to poor people.

>When's the last time a Republican proposed >cutting payroll taxes?

I about three quarters agree with you, Tim. But payroll taxes go to fund Social Security and Bush and company were proposing Social Security reform before the polling fell through the floor.

They didn't get it for the same reason that they have failed utterly to cut spending: Bush is unwilling to expend any actual effort to reduce the size and reach of government.

Bush will probably get through eight years without vetoing a single bill. I'd support a lot of Democrats in the next midterm election if I thought it would cause him to use that veto pen but I fear it wouldn't work out like that. He's a lover, not a fighter.

"And they want to cut the poor's social programs because they want to cut government across the board, leaving everyone--poor people included--with more money in their pockets to spend on the things they need most."

Of course! Obviously eliminating all economic aid to the poor will leave them with "more money in their pockets", even if those cuts do little to stimulate the overall economy.
