"Them" = The Republican Party and corporations It's funny because the Dems have no concern for fiscal stability or a balanced budget. Government handouts = votes. The more free stuff you can get your constituents the more likely they are to vote for you. It's a scam. Not to mention that if the lefties truly believed in what they said they would back the $100K+ they get from being in office back to the machine they support. I will agree with him on the education part. The GOP almost always turns down bills to put more funding into education (or take from the defense budget) because it's military contractors that pay for their campaigns.
