--- "Congress needs to stop spending our money to get themselves re-elected, and the average American has to come to grips with the concept that there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Yup.

But our political system is built on snake oil salesmen, promising they can "cure" what ails us. The fascinating problem for today is that this internet doesn't like to forget, so the political animals of today get their "yesterday I said this" repeated to them verbatim. (Includes Freepers....)

So which politician is trustworthy? This is actually a problem for Leftitsts ( and the Leftists costumed as RINOs ), Because their promises are coming back to haunt. So, Democrats are now saying stuff out loud. Their political sales pitches are failing, based on nothing more than some voter looking at their wallet and their bills and their neighbors' similar experiences.

I hope you are right.
