GOP, Dems share blame for waste

Posted December 24, 2015 11:01 pm

The difference between most Democrat voters and Republican voters is simple - most Democrat voters learned a long time ago that Congressional Democrats have no intention of eliminating waste from the federal budget.

Republican voters, on the other hand, are now learning that after two years of Republican control of Congress that Republican talk about reducing the size of government and cutting wasteful spending, is just that - talk.

An example of that is the recently passed ominous spending bill that will fund government through 2016. The bloated spending bill is loaded with pork and funding for special interest groups To see examples of government waste, visit the website of Citizens Against Government Waste and remember that Republicans control the Congress and all government spending.
