U.S. Government shuts down.

Of course, both parties want more government, which leaves pretty much the ones that want less government in the dust. I know one party claims to support less, but it's losing its grip for good reason.

Thank you!

The differences between both parties is very superficial at best; it is more a matter of not how much government is involved, but how it is involved or used. GOP wants lower taxes for the upper strata of the ruling class, less funding on social programs (including education), and high defense spending. The Dems want lower taxes for the petite-bourgeois sector of the ruling class, somewhat more spending on social programs, and a little less spending on military. Neither one are a friend of the working class.

Well just wanted to comment at this point, since that gets at what I was trying to say.

This is why when people bring up that popular "entitlement" buzzword as of late to deliver moral superiority across actually legitimate issues I want to punch them in the face because it's almost always laced with hypocrisy.
