They call austerity...

..."draining the swamp".

I'm convinced after reading, hearing, and seeing DT supporters speak out on social media and the M$M.

It's not wealthy interests that are the source of the corruption of our democracy in tRump supporter's minds. If it is then it takes a big back seat to cutting the size of programs according to the guidelines of the Heritage Foundation and the like.

They even say, "rich people have never harmed me".

They are thrilled with this opportunity to "cut government spending" and their definition of "drain the swamp" is not what ours is.
Remember their mantra, "smaller government".

Unfortunately the cuts coming will damage us all.

First on the chopping block is the National Endowment for the Arts, Second- the Endowment for the Humanities.
We will have nothing of culture unless is celebrates the state. So...hurry up and start making that Dear Leader art!

Yep, that describes the incoming administration.
