That's right, Mr. and Ms. US Taxpayer. You are spending like drunken republicons to keep the G.O.P. billionaire out on the links enjoying gourmet luxury golffe (and meals) at your expense.

Maybe you should sit down at the kitchen table, take a good look at your finances, and ask whether you can afford to keep up this flashy, flamboyant excess. I mean, take a good sober look at your budget.

Maybe you could cut back on food or gasoline or clothing, and thereby make more money available to ship off to Washington via taxes so the republicon billionaires can maintain the luxury lifestyles they have become accustomed to? Think about it. I mean, what kind of American are you?
