Need for a welfare state

Democrats are so afraid of losing their jobs they won't take a stand. They play it safe and the country suffers.

Republicans solve this with a welfare state for ex-pols. In many cases, they're better off financially after defeat or retirement than before it.

We Dems need to compete, if only to help get the weak, used up old toothless Democrats to shuffle off into the sunset.

I never thought I'd say this, but I really miss LBJ. Now that man could twist some arms.
