what’s demoralizing is all the talk about huge budget cuts that result in a bigger budget anyway. it’s like raising the price of a car by $1000, then offering it at a $500 discount. you still end up paying more.
far too many politicians have done this to us for me to take them at their word, eespecially when nothing has been done yet.
Then run for office. If you can trust no one to do it, then you need to do it yourself.
