Not just the Republicans. The whole freaking country.
No truer words have been spoken. What we have learned this election cycle is that nobody wants the gravy train to stop, Left or Trumpian Right. We are all going to ride that Entitlement train right off the cliff singing “Cut the other guys handout, leave mine alone.”
You have to blame the voters. People say cut spending, but not the spending that benefits them. If Americans really wanted smaller government we would have it by now.
