Starving the beast
Anyone ever heard of this tactic before? I was reading on wikipedia and ran across this.

"If you want to kill the beast, first you must stop feeding it."
---Ronald Reagan Yes, I've heard of "Starving the Beast", or "deliberate defunding", as a friend of mine calls it. Dave |
It's precisely what the Republicans have been trying to do with health care reform and financial reform. They don't have the votes to undo the reforms, so they use back-door obstructionism.

It's not exclusive to Republicans though, in all fairness. |
