What's even worse is that the controlled opposition (i.e. the GOP) is just as bad. The Democrats want to spend trillions of dollars on welfare programs for schvartzes, illegals, deadbeat homeowners, bums without health coverage, etc. The Republicans "merely" want to spend hundreds of billions on the same things.
Just compare the "Contract with America" era of the GOP (which wasn't even 15 years ago) with that of today. The CWA of course did not nearly go far enough, but at least in principle it resisted further spending with an iron fist. Today's Republicans, at least on fiscal issues, are to the left of Bill Clinton in his heyday!
