Anyway, leftists think that overspending is good for the economy..... free lambo’s for all government employees!

Why do Libtards think that the Gov’t spending money is a a ‘good’ thing; unless that money is for Defense?

From this perspective, paying $16 for a muffin is far more effective than laying out the more typical $2 that the average person might pay for such an item. That the government has the wherewithal and the sense to do this is something we should all be thankful for. A new twist on keynesian 'economics' perhaps?
Thanks John.

Actually the hotel said it wasn’t just a muffin. Muffin was the word used to let them know what they got which was also fruit and a few other things.
In other words the muffin alone was not $16.
Based on the muffin, the coffee was also probably a coffee and something else.

Could be that 60+% of all federal spending is in some way tainted..
Much of it goes to Unions.. in one way or another.
From highways to federal workers.. to government contractors of every stripe..
Only 1/3 of the people on SSA are old people..
So up to 2/3rds of that money could stolen..
Medicare is known to be corrupted.. who knows where the drug benefits go..
Much of all federal spending could be corrupt..
For sure current congress AND retired congress Members are bleeding the system heavily..
What ex-Presidents get is obscene.. even House members are made men in the Mob sense of the word..
Same could be true in the States as well..
BAD in some States.. highway robbery in others..
Even local political graft is or has been becoming Mob like..
but then democracy is indeed MOB Rule by mobsters..
to expect any less would not be realistic..
Ron Paul wants a return to the Constitution..
And many call him crazy... that would require a very small federal government..
and many republicans WANT a bigger federal government.. but won’t admit it..
denial is not just a river in Egypt..

“Ron Paul wants a return to the Constitution..”
Conservatives want a return to the Constitution. Good for Ron Paul to agree with us.
Paul's foreign policy views are toxic and would destroy our nation.

But....but with $16 muffins and $8 coffee you get refills on the coffee. So it’s not as bad as it sounds.

Actually the hotel said it wasnt just a muffin. Probably a bargain when one considers that they could go down on the street and pay $40.

Actually the hotel said it wasnt just a muffin."Hey, I'd pay $16 for a muffin if it was more than just a muffin - if ya know what I mean!"
