Anyone else tired of Republicans' "entitlement attitude"?

Seriously. They think they are entitled to cheap gas that the government must provide through dirt-cheap leases on public land, entitled to be able to drive their Off Road Vehicle wherever they want, entitled to have that Off Road Vehicle to begin with, entitled to lower taxes despite taking more than they give back.

And they complain about poor folks' entitlement, when all they feel they are entitled to is a little food and a chance for a meager existence.

I have personally seen the privilege magats locally complaining about the price they have to pay for little Debbie and hostess snack cakes. And they want someone to check them out quick in the store with them.
Seriously hit people in their bread and circus and you will control them.
At a federal level every few months the republicans threaten to shut down the government or pay any on the debt unless they get their way. Really getting old hearing about them trying to shutdown the government every few months.

@Renaci "At a federal level every few months the democrats did threat to shut down the government or pay any on the debt unless they got their way. Really getting old hearing about them trying to shutdown the government every few months."

Depending on who's in power, maybe you should fix your statement.

@Tiredish Or you can look at it this way.

When a Democratic Congress has shut it down (for valid reasons) cumulatively it's lasted a total of 6 days. The last time was in 1990. Cost to the government was roughly $215 million.

The last five times it's happened, with Republicans shutting it down (as stunts), it's been total of 83 days.
Cost to the government? $7.5 BILLION.

So there, I fixed your statement with some facts. I think it helps.
