Most people don't realize that so-called "government waste" is a corporate handout. The fat-cat corporations and their government minions that run our government (military-industrial complex, big oil to name a few) have done a good job of convincing the average Joe over the years of this lie: that the famous $200 (or whatever) hammers and $400 toilet seats are the fault of the government, when in fact they've orchestrated the waste. His ilk have done a great job over the years brainwashing us to think he's on our side, but being the good politician, he is Hell Bent on us paying all the taxes, all the bailouts (The Savings & Loan scandal in the 1980s that happened shortly after Reagan got the industry deregulated and the 2008 financial crisis that was reusulted because Congress refused to regulate and even passed a law banning regulation of the twisted financial scheme that led to the crisis) and him getting it by cutting or otherwise destroying all our "entitlements" (in the dictionary, "entitlement" is defined as something we are owed because we paid into it) and through the aforementioned government waste (government contracts and programs that nobody is watching) and war. The benefit of that waste always accrues to some corporation or rich individual that singed the contract, billed and took the money. So when some fat cat running for office claims he will cut waste in government, he's being disingenuous at best and likely a bald faced liar because he's likely had a hand in orchestrating the waste. And when he gripes about "entitlement" programs that are supposedly broke, that us ordinary people are abusing, because supposedly we are the lazy fat cats, he's only complaining because he's not getting all the tax dollars and payroll deductions that we've paid in!
