No Surprise

Oh, Paul Ryan, I really did enjoy what you said. But, unfortunately, this is the same bullshit neocons always sell: "limited government", "free enterprise", and, moreover, "personal responsibility." Those are great ideas, but, when exploited by the GOP, they are simply that, ideas and selling points. The government grew under Reagan, and George W. Bush. Free enterprise is great, except when it is greed, not free enterprise. And "personal responsibility" is the biggest whopper of them all; people decry government but avoid personal responsibility. That's not hard to see.

Epilogue

I watched with morbid amusement today as republican blowhards bashed Obama for making grand promises he had no intentions of keeping. But no one called the GOP out for doing the same thing, as well as being disingenuous.
