And instead of being a veritable arsenal of democracy pouring out ships, guns, tanks and planes like a fire hose and fielding crazy-big armies all way out of our weight class, it’s just god-dammed bureaucrats getting in our hair and wealth distribution making us unhappy.
Claiming to create jobs by expanding government in peacetime is like everybody making a living by taking in each others laundry……
Shrink Gubmint!
Reduce, reuse and recycle gubmint.
It doesn’t matter what the data says. I just asked a lefty about it, and he said “there were no tax hikes in 2000 or 2007”.

Abe thats funny and oh so true.

But whatever becomes of logic; government union sponsored governments keep getting elected; they are just parasites. And, when as in Greece, the s hits the f, they go on strike!
We need a government that will allow the bastards to go on strike and hoire new people to do their job … oh, and cut off their pensions as well.
Abe, your graph is wrong, the y-axis should read “credulaty”.
