Actually,
you may not be that far off. The Obama spending binge is not much better than slapping the radio real hard in the hope it will come back on. Of course, the alternative is "there is nothing wrong with it, cut my taxes and it will turn itself back on eventually".
And I don't deny the Dems are scrambling around looking for loot, but there isn't much left, is there? Someone else got there first. And I think you are starting to see that too.
