While some in Washington try to solve and others obstruct fixing our fiscal mess, we hear the liberal lament: “Our political system is broken because of partisanship.” This is untrue, even absurd. This argument tries to pit politics against principle. Democrats are using their own convoluted brand of partisanship, a cynical, feel-good version of “Can’t we all just get along?” after they already have stacked the deck against reform. They assert there is something wrong with the political system, rather than with their policies, when they don’t get their way. The political claim prevents discussion of the real problem the nation faces: insolvency. The liberal hypocrisy finally has been brought to trial.

The Democrats have been on an untenable political and economic course for decades, during which time they have claimed a moral high ground. Now they are astonished to find that the public no longer believes them.

Obviously, we need to protect those who cannot help themselves, and we need to make Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid solvent and safe, not only from bankruptcy, but from the crass media and political maneuverings of liberal politicians who claim to be the only ones who care.
