But they aren't "furious with the Repubs" because the Republicans won't vote them the largesse from the treasury. The new Republicans have been doing just that. That's the problem.

What has most Americans furious with the Republicans is that they are not an alternative to the Democrat habit of spending more than the government takes in (the government NOT being a producer).

The Americans I know want the government to stop spending on pork programs, and redundant programs, and corporate welfare, and social welfare that requires no moral judgement, and politician's pay raises, and expensive campaigns wherein politicians can promise more spending.

The Republicans have offered no more of an alternative to fiscal responsibility than the Democrats gave us.

You think that people are furious because neither will promise to bust open the national treasury and give all the "money" to the working class.

I disagree. Sure, the Democrats will always have a greater appeal to those who think the government is the best means for all to gain economic security -- for those who believe the major function of government is to redistribute wealth.

But that's not why Americans are furious with Republicans.

Republican's major electoral appeal has historically been to those who believe that government is an economic drain when its major function is to redistribute wealth.
