You would think, at least on the surface. But offering packages to everyone is inconsistent with that. It doesn't take a high school graduate to realize that if people leave, and aren't replaced, service will suffer. If he had exempted the VA and SS, that would have made sense under your paradigm. But he didn't. He wants lots of folks gone, damn the consequences.

And I'm not sure that will make right-wing news. The VA has been suffering for years. Decades. Reps have shown little interest in funding it more, and the right-wing media doesn't seem to cover it. "Rah-rah" war, and then they're a bunch of fakers ("Gulf War syndrome", PTSD, etc). If it penetrates the RW bubble, I agree...constituents will not be happy. But it has to pierce that bubble first.
