Rest of the story

Those constant TV ads praising Reps. Dan Newhouse and Cathy McMorris Rodgers for voting to balance the federal budget are so wonderfully informative that I’m surprised they didn’t include the small and insignificant fact that their budget is balanced on the backs of the middle class and the poor.

How thoughtful of them not to burden the super wealthy who fund their election campaigns and their TV ads.
