9. They Don't Care

No matter what this or any other Republican operative does they are not going to cede power to the opposition party. Gerrymandering, filibustering and ratf%#$ing are all about not allowing the Democrats to do anything. It's never going to stop with these people. When the wheels fall off the economy they will find ways to screw Democratic areas by cutting their federal programs. This is why the Democratic party needs to put in place some type of backstop that first cuts federal monies to areas of this country that receive more federal funding than they pay in taxes. I'll include SS since it's really a pay as you go system. Let the areas of this country that have labor participation rates under 50% figure out how to make their local budgets work without taking money from areas that have a well developed tax base and actually want a functioning government and infrastructure and a working education system.
