Apparently its worthwhile to look at gov't spending when one pary controls both houses of Congress and the Presidency. You know, 'cuz Republicans have been spending money like me at a whorehouse (or some other applicable metaphor). The argument goes that one party controls gov't like that it is more apt to get its pet projects (also known as pork) though; ie, wasting more money.
My response? Duh. I've been saying that for a while now.
Republicans are just as much power hungry whores as are Democrats. Except Ron Paul.
