The situation lends itself well to metaphors. Here mine, conservatives have been holding back the cart from going down hill at great effort and personal sacrifice while the dems keep loading it with more weight and pushing as fast as they can. 50 years of our efforts have only forestalled the inevitable. The last election demonstrated that more and more people are jumping on the cart. We are tired and demoralized and have forgotten what the point of saving these idiots was in the first place. Time to let go before we go down with it.

I agree. The only way to kill the beast is to let it starve. We can live without big governments money just fine, but big government can't survive without ours.

The Republicans had a lot of chances to cut useless social programs, but they didn't. They just let them grow. Because of that, I see both parties playing good cop/bad cop. The politicians don't do what they do for us. They use their time to empower and enrich themselves. Then they retire as multimillionaires, and we taxpayers are left paying the bill.
