The Republicans have given their vision of how we build our future—they've said, 'I got mine, the rest of you are on your own'.

Now that's some thoughtful political discourse right there. Take the most draconian budget Republicans have even proposed, and you're still looking at trillions in spending for "the rest of you".

And anyone want to guess how big a % of the Federal budget "roads, bridges and schools" are? Next we'll have Federal candidates talking about firefighters. This isn't a serious argument.



There actually could be a serious argument about firefighters, because they mostly don't fight fires anymore:

Probably won't happen, though, because everybody loves them.
