You've got the Democratic Party that now depends on more government spending and actual building the dependence on government in order to increase their political party.

I drive Fords, and I've driven American cars all my life, and I want to have a strong American manufacturing sector, especially in automobiles.

Dependency encourages social problems.

Democrats have chosen not to defend the Marine Corps, but to pander to anti-war protesters and Berkeley officials that are actively trying to impede military recruitment.

I just want people to know that if they want to change the direction of the country, they can do it, but only if they're active, informed, and engaged.

Social Security mess is another failed progressive policy.

So, the point I'm making is, we are not going to cut spending in Washington if we think it's the job of every congressman and senators to pave local parking lots and build local sewer plants. These parochial interests are getting in the way of the national interests.
