An Observation About Political Differences

We tend to judge our opponents by their actions and our allies by their intentions.

Because Republicans intended to cut the budget, conservatives see them as fiscally responsible. Because Democrats passed massive social spending increases, conservatives see them as fiscally irresponsible.

Because Democrats talk about helping the poor, liberals see them as compassionate. Because Republicans have tried to slow the growth of social spending, liberals see them as heartless.

In the meantime, we all owe something like $35,000 each on the debt and Oakland is a catastrophe. Pay up and keep to the safe part of town.
