Flipping back and forth between the West Wing and the California debates, I caught something really funny in the debate. Tom McClintock listed about 18.5 billion in cuts off the top of his head, acknowledging that spending is up 38% while revenues had only increased 25% in recent years. Everyone, even Cruz, noted the deficit was not rocket science, and that they were simply spending more than they were taking in and it had to stop.
Everyone, that is, except for Camejo, the green party candidate, whose solution was to ‘raise taxes on the top 1% and spend more money on education.’
I almost choked to death on key lime pie I was laughing so hard. What alternate universe spawns the Green party?
