Government policies

One of the great ironies of the current conservative movement within the Republican party is that they don't really mean it. ANYONE who has pursued history with any sort of objective eye KNOWS that the GOP screams about austerity and deficits and what-all when they are OUT of office, but once they get control of the government, they literally rape the Federal Government for its resources and any personal advantage they can get for themselves. They claim to hate government, but when they control it, they treat it as a personal asset of their own.

As recent evidence, one need only look to the George W Bush era and the destruction levied on the U.S. government as taxes were cut for the wealthy, laws were changed to reward their rich banker friends, and two wars were launched to fatten the coffers for their fat-cat friends in the defense industry, leaving the U.S. economy in shambles.
