Unlike the current potus who has set a record for spending?

What I don't get with the democrats is why they don't propose spending cuts which would be very difficult for even the tea party faction to accept. Is there any L. B. Johnson political gamesmanship left in the party or is it an organization of milquetoast?

The Democrats will figure it out eventually, but, for now, the Republicans are winning in the realm of pr#ckdom.

Every state has an emergency management group of some kind plus the national guard that they can call up. Why do we need a duplicate agency at the federal level? It's difficult to get rid of it but easy to de-fund it.

But what about those dimwits like Bachmann sucking at the nanny state's teat taking farm subsidies and praising the Secretary of Agriculture for direct nanny state involvement in purchasing pork products? I guess you have a little difficulty seeing both sides of the aisle, eh?

FEMA encourages people to build and live where they have no business being. Disaster relieve should be a state issue.
