In a petition pressuring House Democrats to vote against any rules package containing pay-go, Social Security Works declared that the proposed provision "would leave Democrats fighting for working families with one arm tied behind their backs."

1. And the reason to abandon pay-go is . . .

We tried it, it didn't work as advertised; in fact, it made things worse.

3. I like the idea of pay-go, given the massive deficit...

but it has been utterly toothless. Not sure it makes sense to propagate it given it's failure.

5. massive Republican deficit

The massive deficit is a product manufactured by Republicans, for Republican donors, at everyone else's expense.

'Pay-go' is a Republican tool to attempt to force downsizing government until it is small enough "to drown in a bathtub".

Damn the Republicans; fix the damage.
