How could I admit to them that deficit spending is the only way to get us out of an economic crisis perpetuated by my party's disastrous fiscal ideology? How could I tell them I stopped obsessing over scoring petty political points right before the midterm election?Yep, pretty damn accurate.
How could I stop being the greedy, myopic scumbag they elected me to be?
