Turn out the lights, the party’s over

Tax cuts or social needs? Medicare and Medicaid cuts, teacher layoffs, library shutdowns; Missouri, for crying out loud, has resorted to turning off every third light bulb in government buildings.

  1. Yet he can cough up 70 billion dollars to launch a war against the “guy who tried to kill my dad”.
    Blows your mind, don’t it?
    It seems at times he’s not planning on a “future” for this country. Screw education, screw social programs, screw the next fiscal year…
    If he didn’t want to be President anymore, all he had to do was just say so, y’know?

  2. Er, the way the succession works, that would leave us with Dick Cheney as President. I don’t think much of that idea (although he might be the first one from Wyoming, so in the interest of history…).
