Both parties want to spend money they don’t have. The only difference is who they want to give the money to and who they want to take it away from.
I’ll “throw away my vote” on a 3rd party or independent candidate because I already know that smart democrats and republicans think they know all the answers but aren’t smart enough to know that they don’t.
We could give free reign to the democrats or free reign to the republicans and the country will still be bankrupt 10 years from now. The only difference will be how we get there.
