But to your point, Mr. Murphy, no one, no one thinks wasting money is a good thing. So it seems to me that our friends on the other side have literally become a caricature of themselves.

Like the American people's brain over the last 6 years has been completely erased, and they don't remember the $3 trillion they borrowed, they don't remember the runup to the war, they don't remember Katrina, they don't remember the FEMA fiasco, they don't remember the passports. These are the guys that know how to run government? They can't even distribute passports, and they are going to give us a lecture on how we need to run our government.
