Yeah, Eb... Isn't it interesting that the Repubs drag out that same worn out bull every election about wanting smaller government but when they get in power that make the Dems look like novices when it comes to makin' the government even bigger??? And isn't interetsing that the Rpubs go into their deficit hawk posture 'round election time but when they get in power they spend like drunken sailors... It also very interesting to look at a bar graph of deficits over the last 3 decades... Repubs in the deficits go up... Dems in they go down???

But really the most interesting - No, make that sad - part of the deal is that the Repubs have lived at the Dems-want-big-government post so long that the American people have been completely duped into believing the Repub's "BIG LIE"... Yeah, that is very sad and does not bode well for Tom Jefferson's assertion that for democracy to work it would require an "informed electorate"... Guess that explains how the corporations wrestled any sembelance of democracy away from the masses...
