No matter what, it's always worse when Democrats are in charge. It should be painfully obvious whatever the "problem", it only applies if it can be used to bludgeon Democrats. Deficits, security breaches, pandemics, whatever it is, just amplify it enough to maintain power by saying its worse under the other guys watch.

We really need a restraining order to keep these folks at arms length. Keep taxes local. Fund programs based on "buy ins" (federal matching instead of grants). These folks don't realize how much "socialism" they get on a daily basis.
