COTD: The "Liberal" (Warning: Bad Language)

clipped from reason.com They are hard luck stories but no worse than any other. My point in bringing them up to people is that we now have the most liberal President and Congress in history. They are spending trillions of dollars and running deficits at un precidented levels. Given that, do you think they took any of that money and helped people who are sick or handicapped and out of work? Fuck no. They took all of it and gave it to pork projects to help their buddies and to bail out billionaire bnakers on wall street. What exactly does it mean to be a liberal now? At one time it meant you looked out for the little guy and stood for big social welfare programs for those who need it. It may have naive. It certainly didn't work that well. How can anyone in good conscience take money from working people in this country and saddle our children and grand children with unimaginable debt just to give it to chronies and failed wall streeet billionaires and still call themselves a liberal?
