The crowd responded with an enthusiastic cheer of "four more years" afterward.
“Do you know of an individual or family or business or anything that has spent more money than it takes in for 44 consecutive years? If you’ve done that, then you’re reading this article from a prison cell. And yet, that is precisely the behavior of your federal government, which passes along this generational debt to your children and grandchildren.” In “The Democrats’ Deadly Sin” (803 words), professor of political science and executive director of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College—Dr. Paul Kengor—asks of this spending addiction: “who’s at fault?” Instead of treating “a junkie who can’t push away a needle,” Dr. Kengor shows how class-warfare rhetoric places the blame on those who don’t want to feed the junkie’s addiction, citing the “greed” of “the wealthy for not wanting to surrender more and more.” It’s “the envy-based answer,” but he concludes, “Envy is a vice, not a virtue, and certainly should not be political strategy.”
