I believe that he is a prime example of why we are where we are today.
I saw the phenomenon many, many years ago in my first venture into discussing politics. It was easy to get people to support cutting government programs and waste. Until you touched on one they liked or depended upon.
No matter how crazy, inappropriate, inefficient or stupid a program is, there will always be those dependent on it to scream and shout at there political representatives.
The Democrat “trick” is to take a reasonable program and load it up with “poison pills”—waste, fraud, abuse and evil—and then howl if anyone touches a dollar of it.
“I believe that he is a prime example of why we are where we are today.”
It’s all “I hate Congress, but I love my Congressman.”
