You know, if my goal was “less gasoline”, I’d expect to see the amount of money I spend at the gas pump go down.

This is not down.

Conservatives do not believe in less government. Quite the opposite.

Holy crap. These ‘lawmakers’ seem to think they can come out and say ‘it’s not perfect’ but still PASS it? That the voters will forgive them? For 8 fking years we couldn’t do squat. Some years they passed NOTHING. They came up with a SEQUESTER for cripes sake and now? ‘It’s not PERFECT but we DID put in the President’s request(s) for absolute BS because he’s the PRESIDENT???’ But somehow Obama WASN’T? I hate you lying mofos…and you blame the Democrats for being ‘blind’. Wow.
