Liberals tell Obama to bring the pain

The Pentagon decision to suspend death benefits for families of troops killed in Afghanistan is prompting outrage over the Obama administration’s handling of the partial shutdown. Republicans continue to pass legislation that would restore full funding for essential programs, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continues his blockade and the president has promised vetoes of several mini-spending bills. Obama told reporters Tuesday that he would not allow emergency funding because he wanted to keep the “political heat” on Republicans. But Americans are unlikely to tolerate such gamesmanship where war widows are involved.

Although "bringing the pain" continues to hurt sections of the population, it doesn't hurt the majority of the citizens.

"Sliming down " of the government just may backfire. Citizens may see that cost reductions just don't hurt that much at all and begin to lean toward the conservative view that government is just too big. We can live with cuts.

Are the Democrats shooting themselves in the foot?

The GOP is sending the Pentagon a Thank You letter for taking the blame game off of them.
