How Democrats Roll (the Public)

Pass a "temporary" tax increase, and then, when the inevitable prospect of short term revenue loss comes at expiration, say something like this...

“We cannot stand by and allow savage cuts to our education and to these critical services to unravel the progress that we have made,”

In other words, they designed it this way, they baked it into the cake, they knew exactly what they were doing...an yet savage cuts will unravel things.  Yeah, funny how that works.
