Our representatives in Washington

The hurricane is giving troglodytes and foamers plenty of opportunities to show their true characters. A Texas congressman, Rep. Ron Paul, was on the losing side of a 410-11 vote in the House to fund help for hurricane victims, saying Americans should stop depending on big government. He continued:

The flawed paper money system in existence since 1971 has allowed for the irresponsible spending of the past 30 years. Without a linkage to gold, Washington politicians and the Federal Reserve have no restraints placed on their power to devalue our money by merely printing more to pay the bills run up by the welfare-warfare state.

The "welfare-welfare state." Is that like a super-duper precedent?
