I think they've got the addiction part down pat.

They need to learn from a RECOVERED drug qaddict.

And I always thought that it was Washington's chronic overspending that has caused most drug addiction issues...

The ones who recover hit rock bottom. But our politicians are protected from hitting bottom. They’ll never personally suffer. The addict must have an OMG-I-almost-died moment. They must be so disgusted with winding up in the gutter that they WANT to change. Our wealthy, isolated leaders will never personally experience that moment, so the recovering drug addict analogy won’t hold water. Remember also that at least half of them, of both parties, have a socialist control agenda. The poorer the public is the easier that agenda becomes.

The better model is the high functioning drug addict. They have a stock-broker job, drive a BMW and live in a half million dollar house. But they do drugs and make deals at the same time. These people can live to an incredibly ripe old age and never once be sober.

Addiction to power and spending is the hardest to cure it can done by taking it away from them.
The next election is the only way to stop them,if voter turn out is low we will never win it’s the last chance.
