(19,240 posts)Many of us knew that it was coming, because the same economic forces were in play. Many of the same rich families were responsible for both crises. And Grover Norquist is nothing new. The purveyors of alcohol, gambling and other escapes from reality have always relied upon poverty to stay in business. Do not be fooled by that "bathtub" talk. Norquist is a lobbyist for folks who make a lot of money if a lot of people are very, very poor. And as for "drowning" the government, those Corporate Welfare Queens known at the Koch Brothers get rich off the public tit---there is no way they want to downsize our government. They just want all the money to flow into their coffers rather than into Head Start. Their Daddy learned that trick in Stalin's Russia.
