So what's the case for electing Democrats?

We have a 1.5 Trillion deficit.  Even with immense tax increases this means our leaders must cut at least $1 Trillion out of our Federal budget every year. The Democrats who control the Senate and the White House are having conniptions over  the frankly risible $61 Billion in cuts proposed by Republicans.  They are claiming catastrophe.

TINY CUTS, BIG COMPLAINTS: “In the context of federal spending that will total something like $3.8 trillion this year, $61 billion is a rounding error. Yet the Democrats resisting that amount in House-approved cuts say it will wreck the economy while leaving children unschooled, taking food from the mouths of the elderly, and casting disabled people into the streets. Laughter is the only appropriate response to such predictions. In these absurd times, when both parties quibble over crumbs while the layer cake of debt rises higher and higher, laughter is a mark of fiscal seriousness.”


If the left can't cope with these tiny cuts without soiling themselves, then how are they going to achieve cuts that are 15 times larger?

And if they can't, how can any responsible adult justify a vote for them?
