This is Logic

This is so important, we need to do something huge like shut down the government. Except we don't really need government. Except these parts over here. Like the gym. And maybe ourselves.

This is so important, we need to default on the debt.  Except defaulting wouldn't be that bad. And we can delay it for days by "prioritizing." 

This program is so bad we need to kill it. Except for how it will die on it's own.  Because no one wants it. Because it's badly run because so many people are trying to get in.

We need to balance this budget. By cutting spending. By keeping people at home and paying them. And paying extra to turn things off. And pay more extra to turn them back on.

We need to cut these benefits. But we need you to do it. Because the people that voted for us to cut these benefits won't vote for us when they don't get their benefits.
