How you spell "Dysfunction"? R-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n

 

Favorite Halloween costume this year

     Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan told us that the government wasn't the solution but was the problem and the scariest statement was "I am here from the government and I am here to help."  This type of thinking which denigrates the ability of the government to function in meeting the needs of citizens leads us to the present situation with the Republicans being unable to govern when they are in control.  To many Republicans elected today the goal is to have government become non-functional as a way to weaken the government.  The question is "Who gains control when the government is weakened?" It is a joke when this group of officials talk about doing what the American public wants when they represent a minority of the population.  It seems like today only the Democrats are interested in being a governing party.
