Argh indeed.

My state (CA) is broke. The federal government is broke. We need to start acting like we are aware of that fact.

I don’t disagree. In fact, I take it as progress that a conservative (? just guessing; tell me if I’m assuming incorrectly) admits that the GOP has never acted like it was aware of - or cared about - that fact either.

Last, spending money on things which will save money later or create jobs is not automatically wasteful spending. This is the biggest problem I have with the current GOP party line - they act as if they didn’t just spend us into a record deficit and that their expenditures weren’t “socialism.”
