Isn't apparent that nearly all have given up on reining in spending? Only that I can think of off the top of my head that still stand up are Amash and Paul.

It's like executives and investors raiding a failing company - accelerating it into the ground/bankruptcy.

They get in, pay themselves handsomely until the parachute turns double platinum, then pull the ripcord whenever the gig is up.

Some are lucky enough to get re-elected no matter what they spend or how they perform. Their riches have no bounds as they need no parachute. They have a constituency that would never pull the lever for anyone else.

We're a country where the uneducated and educated alike now favor voting for Santa Claus. Who's giving away the most free stuff.

Either I vote for the guy who will give me back some of my money or the other guy wins and I get none of it back. Voting is now about the level to which we get screwed because everyone is lubing up.
