    It’s proven time and time again that it doesn’t matter if they’re doing it. Hypocrisy isn’t a word in their dictionary.

    It’s almost as if words are just weapons for Republicans and holding to their messages in good faith is a joke to them.

    Power by all means. Might makes right.

    I like Reich, but this is dumb. They never railed about bureaucrats “destroying government,” they railed about them destroying healthcare, education, the economy, etc. – and they didn’t even give a shit about those things, they were just cynical covers to defend privatization of those areas. Destroying “Shrinking” government has been their stated goal since at least Grover Norquist, and they love that it’s being done now (even in a way that actually does destroy healthcare, education, and the economy).
