Republicans hate government and think it’s the problem. They then get elected and spend their entire time making government underfunded and inefficient, thus proving their point about how terrible government is. And that’s their reason for electing them.

Imagine applying for a job where you say “I hate your business and I want to destroy it from within, so please hire me.”

The latest GOP plan is to defund the IRS, which will costs us billions when the IRS won’t have the staff or budget to go after people who don’t pay their taxes.

But the GOP is fine with that, because the people who don’t pay their taxes are almost all the millionaire class that votes for them. And if the government becomes more inefficient because we don’t have the money, they can use that to complain.

(As an aside: October was a tremendously depressing month for me for many reasons and not just politics, so forgive me for not updating this blog regularly. I guess I needed a month off.)
