Govt Savings?
Good one  - but - after the fiscal irresponsibility I've seen amongst all of the administrations during my lifetime, I really don't think it would make much of a difference no matter which party occupied the Oval Office.

A certain populist politician from decades ago coined the phrase: "There ain't a dime's worth of difference between 'em.", referring to the two parties.
Unfortunately, I think he's right. They're the players. And the rest of us are, by and large, of no more significance than the dust on the chess board. We don't even rate as pawns.

Personally, I'm like Will Rogers - thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
