I lived in the WDC area for about 30 years. I have often said if the average taxpayer saw even a small portion of the government excess there (overly nice buildings, excessive salaries and benefits and so forth) things wouldn’t be so peaceful. Most of my neighbors and acquaintances had their hands in the till somehow through employment, grants, consulting, etc. Truly...WDC is the Excess Capital of the World.
Exactly.
I was ther a couple of weeks ago, cranes all over the place, swapping out marble on the Federal Buildings on the Mall, multi million dollar spent on "rejuvenating" the lawn, etc.
DC has a problem.
Flyover country is beginning to get the picture without having to visit.
Washingtonians beware.
given your experience, what is the best way to capture that on a 30 second commercial to help voters understand? I truly believe we need to move the voters focus to reducing Washington, and creating a clear majority to shift power out of that corrupt snake pit. People are too easily swayed to let Washington 'solve' our problems.
