The prospect of cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits really excites the folks who put out the Washington Post. That’s why the paper, which completely missed the record share of corporate profits in GDP reported by the Commerce Department on Friday, referred to the desire of Republicans to have a constitutional amendment to “keep future sessions of Congress in line.”
A real newspaper would have referred to Republican efforts to keep Congress from spending money. But the Post can’t keep its enthusiasm for cuts from dripping all over its reporting. Therefore it just tells readers — in the news section — that Congress has been out of line.
