are largely hardcore right-winger/libertarian types who want to revert to
Wild-West governance (conveniently now that they have accrued all the $).

However, there must be a cogent, progressive voice that challenges the
unquestioned practice of continuing to bloat budgets and government agencies
that are not serving the people's best interest - particularly those who need it most -
poor, minority communities who never see the benefit of these alleged programs
that democrats rail about all day every day.

These programs need to be massively improved upon and audited by the people's
representatives so that we're not just giving blank checks to police departments, DMV's,
and other agencies that have become debt collectors and punitive ticket distributors.
