Oops. I guess she missed that part about that Alito guy.

Americans still expect an activist government, and wars are expensive. The Dems successfully turn every discussion about entitlement cutbacks into a horror show for the poor and aged, painting Republicans as stingy and hard hearted.

We need to attack the entitlement programs that are draining the budget, especially medicare and medicaid. Republicans would do well to focus rational, informed discussion on them, rather than whining and dividing the party, as this woman suggests.

I was out driving mental health patients today. I'm retired from my first career and it's my job. They have a lobby, SSI benefits, paid for apartments, on and on...

The guy I was driving was boasting about the backpay one of his "disability" buddies had recently gotten from the treasury, 65,000 dollars. My response was "That's two to three years salary for WORKING people."

Ended the discussion.
