Mitch Daniels Responds to Critics Over Social Issues "Truce" and Defense Cuts

http://www.facebook.com/UncKnowledge

In an episode of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson that will air on March 14, 2011, Mitch Daniels responds to his conservative critics on social issues and defense cuts. He responds in two ways. First, while Daniels believes that liberals are the primary aggressors on social issues, he says his truce is meant for both sides. Second, he says it is about winning elections.

In addition to social issues, Daniels raises conservative ire by putting the defense budget on the chopping block.

He didn't do that the Indiana Supreme Court did that.

Shifting the cost of social programs to the states would effectively end them. States who tried to maintain the federal level would be flooded with poor. Taxes in those states would rise, resulting in a race to the bottom. As social mobility decreases dramatically and the number of poor increases, any attempt by the Right to cast off the burden would be met with unrest. Like it or not, we must find humane ways to deal with poverty, as it is increasingly becoming the norm for millions.

Daniels at least has the stones to own up to a "tactical decision" on the part of his rhetoric, but making the case that we can't produce a unified front against the statists unless we put our fiscal house in order. I can respect that much and in a perfect world, the GOP base (and yes that's me too) would not make too much out of Daniels's original proposal.
