The GOP has really sounded like they favor big Government and spending lately.
The GOP relentless effort to throw anything that sticks at our beloved President Obama is now trying to blame Obama calling it his Katrina . Arizona Republicans are now demanding that the lack of government to step in and protect their borders was the reason they wrote their piece of crap legislation that is blowing up in their faces?
Aren't these both pricey demands the Republicans are asking for?
So what do these "less government and more freedom" Republicans want?
The answer is quite simple, they want government to step in if it suits their own agenda and belief system.
Where do the Republicans think the money comes from when they want help to clean up a private industry's oil spill?
Where do the Republicans think the money will come from when they ask for government intervention to stop illegal immigrants from coming across the boarder.
What about oversight to protect coal miners?
If the GOP wouldn't fight tooth and nail every time the big bad government wants to step in and lets say enforce environmental standards or crack down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants or improve safety standards for coal miners then maybe we wouldn't have to be so reactionary.
The GOP isn't for smaller government, they are for their own set of government programs based upon their own ideology.
Imagine if we didn't fight for restrictions that are already in place how many more of these disasters would have occurred?
I would like to elaborate more but I'm off to volunteer at my local school in hopes of landscaping an outdoor classroom. We lacked the funds to complete the project so many of us are stepping up to help offset costs to our school district. I'm such a communist wanting a handout!!!
Have a great weekend
