Love ya, Louie, but there’s no reason to believe that more than a handful of Repubs would support any meaningful cut/reduction. They have fooled us far too many times.

How many reliable ones are there out of that bunch? i’m guessing maybe 5.
Would that be "Won't get fooled again..."
or "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss..."
Good one there!
