Get on Wormtongue’s enemies list and you’ll suffer for it, even your whole state, as Al Reuters has found in a study of discretionary federal spending:
“Reuters sorted the states into three categories: ‘red’ states, where Obama got less than 45 percent of the vote in 2012, ‘blue’ states in which Obama got more than 55 percent of the vote, and ‘purple’ states where Obama won between 45-55 percent of the vote. As noted, red states sustained a 40 percent cut in discretionary grant spending, but blue states only lost 22.5 percent, just a little over half as much.”
This is the change without the hope, unless you vote the right way. Like what the Democrat IRS did to the Tea Party and other conservative groups.
But it’s as old as Miriam Sawyer’s recollections of growing up in Albany, NY, where Republicans “did not have potholes in their streets fixed or the snow removed (there was a lot of snow)…”
