Honestly though I am awestruck that anyone could think that cutting teachers and firefighters helps the American people. Who is out of touch here??
Republicans don't even seem to dress up their policies at this point, they just openly state them in the harshest, most cynical way possible. It's like American politics is a grand social experiment to see how far you can take beating up on normal people without reprecussions. So far, the public seems entirely apathetic. (And that is, perhaps, the goal.)
